Curriculum
The MBA Core
Because effective managers in all sectors of health care need solid grounding in management disciplines, Health Care MBA students take a set of core courses emphasizing business fundamentals. The core curriculum equips Vanderbilt students with exceptional analytical, strategic thinking, and teamwork skills.
A Focused Functional Concentration
Health Care MBA students select from one of the following concentrations, each of which requires 12 credit hours beyond the core: Accounting, Finance, General Management, Human and Organizational Performance, Information Technology, Marketing, Operations or Strategy.
The Health Care Industry Specialization
To earn the Health Care specialization, students complete a rigorous curriculum of 17 credit hours that requires more health care courses than other programs of its kind. In addition, the innovative seven-week modular framework allows students the flexibility to take a variety of health care electives.
Preparing business leaders to shape the future of health care.
Traditional health care education programs perpetuate the fragmented nature
of the industry; for example, physicians and financial managers with
conventional degrees often don’t understand each other’s business. To create
real change, managers must fully grasp how all of the pieces of the health care
puzzle fit together, and how each decision affects the entire system. The
Vanderbilt Health Care MBA program provides a unique insight into this complex
world through a blend of solid business basics plus experiential and
integrative learning.
Students complete the Vanderbilt Health Care MBA program in two years by fulfilling the MBA core requirements, along with the requirements for a traditional MBA concentration in addition to the Health Care specialization.
