Master of Health Administration to MA in Aging Studies
Students completing the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program may be allowed to apply up to 12 credit hours (four courses) to the Master of Arts in aging studies (MAAGE) program (i.e., double-counting 12 credit hours between the two programs).
The 12 credit hours are completed as requirements for the MHA program; can apply to the graduate certificate in senior living management; and fulfill core curriculum in the MAAGE senior living management concentration.
The recommended crossover coursework includes:
| Course | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Select 12 credit hours from the following | 12 | |
| Senior Living Operations | ||
| Human Resource Management in Healthcare | ||
| Senior Living Hospitality | ||
| Healthcare Finance | ||
| Healthcare Policy and Administration | ||
| Healthcare Leadership and Operations Management | ||
| Total Credit Hours | 12 | |
The main objective for this change is to provide the opportunity for students to pursue dual degrees (MHA and MAAGE) and structures the curriculum allowing both programs to be completed within a reasonable time frame. The double-counting rule allows students to complete both programs by taking 66 credit hours of coursework. The MHA program must be successfully completed before the student can be admitted to the MAAGE program for the completion of the dual master's degree.
