Healthcare services management is a growing and changing space with an increased demand for healthcare managers who can improve business and clinical outcomes. And, as healthcare reform laws through the Affordable Care Act continue to change industry standards and operations, the need becomes even greater. 

Rutgers Business School's master of science in healthcare services management (M.H.S.M.) will give students the tools, insight, and expertise they need to be successful operational leaders in the healthcare provider space. A multidisciplinary and innovative program, the M.H.S.M. offers a customized, business-oriented, and practice-based M.B.A. curriculum applied to the healthcare services sector. The program is designed to hone leadership and develop a data-driven process orientation, helping provider managers improve quality, reduce costs, and increase patient satisfaction. 

At just 36 credits, this flexible, hybrid program can be tailored to fit a busy schedule and can be fast-tracked and completed in one year. Practice-based capstone projects give students practical experience to apply what theyve learned in classes taught by elite healthcare and management scholars--all in one of the most health-services-dense areas in the United States.

Whether you have transitioned from a clinical care practitioner into management or consulting, or seek to do so, our program will empower you to become a confident, strategic leader in hospitals or provider organizations and their extended supply chains.
