Two-Year Executive MHA Curriculum
The two-year schedule below shows how a student entering the Executive MHA program typically completes the requirements necessary to earn a degree. Classes meet at our Bellevue, Washington location once a month, Thursday-Saturday. Additional teleconference calls take place in the evening at scheduled intervals each quarter.
While the core elements of the curriculum and degree requirements will remain substantially unchanged, the program structure is flexible and will continually evolve to meet the needs of the students and the changing health care environment.
It is possible to waive any required course under certain circumstances. See the Course Waiver Policy for details.
