Admissions Recommendations
It is strongly recommended that students complete one-semester undergraduate courses in applied statistics, microeconomics, Excel, and accounting prior to attending the MHA Program.
Current knowledge of the courses above will prepare students for the rigorous graduate-level curriculum, and help ensure student success.
Admission will not be dependent on whether or not a student has taken these courses, but doing so will ease your transition into the program and demonstrate your commitment to success. Courses taken at a community college are acceptable.
