Healthcare Administration, Management & Policy Centralized Application System

We are pleased to announce that our Master of Science in Health Care Policy and Management program (MSHCPM) is a participant of the Healthcare Administration, Management & Policy Centralized Application System (HAMPCAS).

This means that applicants can now apply to health management, administration, and policy programs across different colleges and universities throughout the U.S by way of a single, web-based application. Heinz College does not have a preference between applicants who use HAMPCAS and applicants who use our Heinz College Application System.  Please use the system that is most convenient for your situation. The benefits to applicants of using HAMPCAS include: 

• Decreases the time and cost of applying to multiple health care policy and management programs.
• Eliminates duplication of effort that used to require applicants, submit multiple copies of credentials, transcripts, essays, and more.
• Allows for the customization of essays and/or the use of a standard essay. Select which option, for each school applied to, within one online application.
• Allows completing your application over multiple sittings before submitting to all schools simultaneously, and updating your application with new information after the application has already been initiated.
• Enables you to check your application status and progress within the system, from anywhere you have internet access.
• Enables one-time payment for all applications via secure e-commerce.

We will begin accepting applications via HAMPCAS beginning September 7, 2011. Please check back for the HAMPCAS p ortal to open for application submission then. Please remember that the Heinz College application deadline is January 10, 2012 for the August 2012 starting date.
