Fully online and collaboratively offered through our Department of Public Health and Health Sciences (PHHS) and the School of Management (SOM), this innovative Master of Science in Health Care Management looks to continue a strong growth of health care offerings by the University of Michigan-Flint. The University of Michigan has a storied history of outstanding health care degrees. From Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor to the Doctor of Physical Therapy in Flint, our programs are among the nation’s best in preparing successful physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other medical leaders. The faculty of the MS in Health Care Management look to continue that same rich legacy by offering this progressive and responsive degree.

This program is designed for mid-level managers from non-profit and private health care entities and organizations for whom leadership and organizational knowledge and skills are necessary components of professional success and personal advancement. This 30-credit hour program is organized to be completed full-time (in as few as 18 months) and part-time with 2.5 and 3.5 years degree plan options.

Students will learn not only practical underpinnings of health care management but also how to implement foundational concepts and frameworks through simulated real-world applications and exercises. Graduates of this program will have the knowledge to improve organizational performance and enhance patients’ experience while employing management and leadership practices that lead their organizations to accomplish their missions.
