MHA Program Structure 

MHA professional (24 months)

Upon final approval of the suggested modifications by the Senate Committee (expected fall 2020), students who started their program in the fall 2019 will be automatically and mandatorily transferred to the newest version of the program. Students will be notified accordingly.

As a working professional, you may complete the MHA program requirements while continuing to maintain your full-time employment, with the exception of the four-month residency. Please note that in order to complete in 24 months, and in a cost effective way, the sequence of courses must be followed at all time. All terms are compulsory. All Health Management courses are normally offered after 4:00 p.m. Students register full-time for the 24 months of the program. Please see the tuition fees web page for more information.
