Open Doors, Become a Leader
Healthcare is one of the largest economic industries in the world. Behind doctors and nurses treating patients’ illness or disease are administrators operating the hospitals and clinics.
This executive degree program is designed to prepare busy health care professionals for leadership roles in the quality and safety areas in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other health care organizations.
Professionals in health care quality and safety manage the strategic and operational aspects of quality operations; establish goals and standards; lead the quality improvement programs; provide training and coaching in quality improvement tools and techniques; develop, implement and monitor measures to assess quality performance; direct organization-wide quality initiatives including the National Patient Safety Initiatives; and direct ongoing monitoring of accreditation survey readiness activities.
This 16-month cohort program begins with a new cohort each fall semester. The program requires 36 credit hours and has a thesis and a non-thesis option. Applicants with healthcare work experience in clinical or non-clinical settings are preferred.
