NOTE: This set of 6 courses (18 credits) is required for all students admitted for Spring
2017 and thereafter.
* Students admitted and enrolled in coursework prior to Spring 2017 have a five-course
certificate requirement (15 credits) instead (including 6550; 6190; 6515 as required
courses; and 6110 and 6130 as typical "elective" courses though a select list of other
healthcare-related electives offered in the past are also accepted). Students enrolled prior
to Spring 2017 therefore do not have to take PADM 6390 Ethics to meet the certificate
requirements. All students should seek advising prior to every semester to ensure course
choices are appropriate.
This pattern assumes a 2-course load
per semester, which many students
prefer. Students who want a different
courseload or timeline should seek
advising before selecting any courses
to ensure the desired pattern is likely
to work. Please be aware that course
offerings are contingent on
enrollment and staffing (particularly in
summer).
You can start the program in any
semester.
Complete your program of study with
your advisor before starting your
second semester in the program. In
general, checking in (even by phone or
email) with your advisor is good EVERY
semester to stay "on track."
