MBA Health Care Capstone Courses

The practicum that provides the culminating experience in the program is designed so that students might integrate their entire graduate experience into strategic planning and problem solving in health care settings. Additionally, the 6600 Capstone provides a similar culminating experience in the program, whereby students may integrate their entire business graduate experience to apply what they have learned across the business and health care spectrums in a final course.
