Students completing the Master of Arts in aging studies (MAAGE) program may be allowed to apply up to 12 credit hours (four courses) to the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program (i.e., double-counting 12 credit hours between the two programs).

The 12 credit hours are completed as part of the MAAGE senior living management concentration; apply towards the graduate certificate in healthcare leadership; and fulfill core curriculum in the MHA program.

The main objective for this dual degree is to provide the opportunity for students to structure the curriculum in such a way that both programs can be completed within a reasonable time frame. The double-counting rule allows students to complete both programs by taking 66 total credit hours of coursework. The MAAGE program must be successfully completed before the student can be admitted to the MHA program for the completion of the dual master's degree.
