About the Program

The Executive Master's Program in Health Management and Policy at the University of Michigan is a non-residential program with a unique format that lets you continue working while pursuing the Master of Health Services Administration (MHSA) or the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree.

Without interrupting your professional employment you are able to acquire the information and skills you need to assume a leading position in the provision of health services and the promotion of public health in your community.

Originally called the On Job/On Campus (OJ/OC) Program, the program takes 24 months to complete. During that period students attend 13 intensive four-day weekend class sessions in Ann Arbor that start on Thursday at 8:30 and end on Sunday at 2 pm. Formal classroom work is combined with on-line instruction and interaction to facilitate the completion of readings, exercises and projects during the periods between class sessions on campus.  

The program is offered every two years in even numbered years. The next cohort (Cohort 21) will have its initial orientation session August 12-15, 2010.

The Department of Health Management and Policy at the University of Michigan has been ranked #1 by U.S. News and World Report in every poll since 1993, when the news magazine began rating health services administration programs.
