Why
is there a need for a Health Care Concentration within the Executive MBA program?
The
EMBA offers an opportunity for people concerned with health care issues
to complete graduate study leading to an MBA degree while retaining their
professional affiliations.
Health care is one of
the fastest growing industries today. The field needs leadership from
those who can integrate clinical knowledge with business knowledge. Neither
clinical expertise nor business expertise alone can contribute most effectively
to solving the myriad of problems related to health care issues today.
Participants recruited
into the EMBA-Health Care Concentration have clinical expertise or equivalent experience. During
the first year of the program, they receive a grounding in fundamental
business concepts and develop the tools they need to be effective decision
makers. In the second year, they concentrate on the application of these
concepts and tools to the health care field.
Participants in the program
are mature, highly motivated individuals who share as a cohort the experiences
of the program. Since they come from different backgrounds, they can build
upon the collective experience of their classmates.

How
is the program organized?
The
EMBA-Health Care Concentration takes approximately 21 months to complete. Classes meet on a bi-weekly basis. Classes are held on Friday afternoons and Saturdays
from 8 am to 6 pm. Instruction is in 4 1/2 hour blocks broken with appropriate
breaks and lunch. During each block, time may be spent
in lecture, in group activities and in open discussion.

What is provided as
part of the program fee?
The
Executive MBA program provides all books and materials
necessary for completion of every course. Many services are provided directly
to participants so that they do not use valuable time standing in line
for registration, or getting parking permits.
Participants have access
to University computer facilities, the library, bookstore, and all other
facilities. The current program fee for the entire 21-month program
is $38,000.
We recognize that spouses,
significant others, children and friends provide important support to
participants in the EMBA program. This group will be included in special
activities and social programs.

Will participants
be given individualized attention?
Each
Executive MBA class is limited in size. This assures that there is ample opportunity
for interaction between the professor, speakers, and class members both
during class hours and during class breaks.
