The graduate program offers you two options of study:

• Full-time: Our full-time option consists of four consecutive semesters of classroom study on campus followed by a paid 8-12 month administrative residency experience in a health services facility under the guidance of a preceptor.
• Part-Time: Our part-time option is designed to accommodate the needs of working professionals. This program consists of nine consecutive semesters of part-time study on campus and an administrative practicum experience conducted concurrently. The practicum is generally a guided field experience conducted within your place of work.

Each option of study requires 60 credit hours for graduation that includes 50 hours of classroom study and 10 hours of residency/practicum project and masters project credits.
