A customized course of study integrates nursing with administrative management. The curriculum, together with field experience and research, allows students to acquire the knowledge, values and skills necessary to support their career goals. At the heart of our dual degree program are active, collaborative relationships between the CON faculty and businesses, governmental agencies, and community-based health programs as well as The Ohio State University Medical Center s teaching hospitals. As part of the country s most comprehensive health sciences center, our students benefit from their access to cutting-edge research and knowledge, a diverse selection of elective courses and interdisciplinary collaboration among health care and business management professionals. Curriculum Overview Students work with faculty advisers to develop a customized plan for the dual degree, which is submitted to the Graduate School within one quarter of planning the integrated course of study.
Students satisfy the credit hour requirements for each degree program.
A minimum of 50 percent of the total credit hours must be unique to each degree and cannot be used for dual credit. Admissions Requirements Candidates must apply and meet the admissions criteria for each of the two degree programs separately. If not completed prior to admission, this deficiency may be completed during the first quarter of graduate study. In addition to the items listed, the applicant must also complete the MHA Supplemental Application. If the Purpose and Goals Statement and letters of recommendation provided to the CON do not mention the interest and motivation for the MHA, it would be advantageous to the candidate to provide this information to the HSMP Division.
