Electives
Any course on campus relevant to the area of health administration qualifies as an elective course. All approved concentration courses meet the criteria of an elective course. This is not a complete list and courses change annually. Current students must consult with the MSHA Assistant Director before selecting a particular elective or seminar course of choice during the registration process.
Elective courses approved for health administration students are listed below. Each course is 4 credits unless otherwise listed. In addition, health administration students may request the review of a course not on list. If the syllabus shows the course aligns well with the MSHA degree and competencies, that course can become an approved elective too. (BADM = Business Administration, CHLH = Community Health, CMN = Communication, ECON = Economics, FIN = Finance, GEOG = Geography, HRD = Human Resource Development, HT= Health Technology, IS = Information Sciences, KIN = Kinesiology, LER = Labor & Employee Relations, PATH = Pathobiology, SOCW = Social Work)
