The MSN/MBA/HCM program is designed to provide nurses with a unique blend of advanced nursing and business management skills needed to manage today's innovative health care delivery systems. The program combines essentials from both degree programs to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance and support patient services. The MBA/HCM program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex management problems that require technical understanding and balanced decision making. Although a functional knowledge of accounting, finance, and management underlies the program, equal attention is given to the development of report writing, oral reporting, and group process skills.

Students develop additional expertise in the solution of persistent management problems through the completion of an applied management science project which relates the student's professional interests or responsibilities to the goal of improved managerial functioning. The applied management science project, therefore, serves not only to provide a vehicle for the application of theory to practice, but also serves to demonstrate that MBA/HCM candidate can perform in a variety of sophisticated management roles in a health care environment with the confidence and self-discipline expected of the MBA/HCM program graduate.","Thanks for your interest in our Master of Science in Nursing degree program.
