Program Details
Nurses looking to advance their career opportunities and take on leadership roles can achieve their goals in less time with the online Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Health Administration dual degree. Core content is shared between the two degrees, so fewer credits need to be completed.
Students gain advanced nursing skills with the MSN curriculum, and the MHA prepares leaders to address issues in access, quality, and cost of healthcare services. Graduates will be prepared for high-level roles such as CEO, Chief Nursing Officer, Chief Operating Officer, or other hospital administrators.

- Population health and interprofessional collaboration
- Quality management and performance improvement
