MHA Curriculum

The MHA curriculum is designed to be completed in two academic years (Autumn Quarter of year one through Spring Quarter of year two). A minimum of 76 credits, including all MHA core course requirements, must be successfully completed to earn the MHA degree.

A number of curricular changes will be going into effect in Autumn Quarter of 2013, which will have an effect on course sequence and credit allocation. These changes will not affect the total credit requirement of 76; however, they will result in slightly diverging requirements from one entering cohort to the next.
