Master of Business Administration in Health Care Management
The MBA/HCM is designed to provide students with the business management skills needed to manage successfully in today's health
care delivery systems. The MBA/HCM program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex management problems
with a foundation of health care concepts and decision models that will support the variety of management roles that can be seen
in today's health care environment. The MBA/HCM specialization is based upon courses in health care organizations, health care
finance, quality and data base management, health care infrastructure, and health care strategic management.
The MBA/HCM develops students for the role managers play in defining business problems, assessing information, considering
alternatives, and choosing the best solution. Imagine the manager as the hub of a wheel. From the hub radiate spokes, each
representing a specific discipline, such as finance, law, marketing, operations, information systems, etc. Each of these
"spokes" generates inputs for the manager to assess and incorporate into the decision-making process. The manager is a critical
user of these inputs in making the decision. Although generally not the original producer of the information, the manager must
be able to assess the validity and reliability of the information in building a business case for the decision.
To prepare students for the decision-making role, the MBA/HCM has been designed to introduce the theory or principles that frame
a wide range of problems or issues in each of the courses. The most current techniques or tools are applied to these theories to
allow students to practice making decisions to solve a wide range of problems.
The MBA/HCM consists of 46 credit hours. Thirty-one credit hours constitute the core curriculum and 15 additional credit hours
complete the MBA/HCM. The core begins with one-credit, three-week, Managerial Communication course designed to build strategies
for success in the MBA/HCM. It is a prerequisite to all the courses that follow. The remainder of the core consists of 10,
three-credit courses, which all student who receive an MBA/HCM from University of Phoenix must complete. Those students in the
MBA/HCM will complete five additional prescribed courses to hone their skills in health care management.
Each University of Phoenix MBA/HCM student will create and maintain an electronic portfolio reflecting the student's achievements
throughout the MBA/HCM program. It will include assignments from each course, typically individual assignments, as well as other
outcomes the student may wish to add. These assignments will demonstrate the student's ability to solve business problems at the
graduate level and serve as a partial catalog of the skills the student has mastered.
Note: Students who enter the MBA/HCM program with an undergraduate degree that is not in business will be required to complete
web-based material (introduced during the Managerial Communication course) covering the fields of Accounting, Finance,
Statistics, and Economics. These students must complete the web-based material and the included self-assessments for each course
prior to taking the Accounting, Finance, Statistics, and Economics courses in the core. The web-based material will familiarize
the students with the terms and concepts covered in a foundational course in that subject. That foundational knowledge will be
presumed by the faculty members who teach the core courses. The web-based material may also serve as a useful review for
students who have studied these subjects as undergraduates, but would benefit from a refresher.

the problems of the public sector as well as the private sector, students whose career interests involve not-for-profit

successful candidate will have a least three years of relevant experience.
The various components of the program-curriculum, learning resources, and faculty- have been selected to produce specified
outcomes. These outcomes, while reflecting contemporary academic practice, also focus on the functional competencies required of
working manager. Thus, the MBA/HRM program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex human resources
management problems that require technical understanding and blackened decision making. Although a functional knowledge of
managerial economics, accounting, finance, quantitative analysis, and human resources management underlies the program, equal
attention is given to the development of report writing, oral reporting, and group processing skills.
Students develop additional expertise in the solution of persistent human resources management problems through the completion
of a research project, which relates the student's professional interests or responsibilities of the goal of improved human
resources managerial functioning. The research project on human resources management, therefore, serves not only to provide a
vehicle for the application of theory to practice, but also serves to demonstrate that the MBA/HRM candidate can perform in a
variety of sophisticated management roles with the confidence and self-discipline expected of the MBA/HRM program graduate.
