HCPM Curriculum

The HCPM curriculum is designed to provide students with a toolkit of unique sought after skills that make them highly marketable to employers. The emphasis of the curriculum is on practical knowledge that students will be able to use on the first day of their job. The curriculum relies on a combination of three different sets of core classes along with electives:

• Common Courses - These are core courses in public policy and management that provide students with a strong quantitative skill set that is valued by employers and transferable. A systems synthesis project and an internship are included among these courses.
• Health Courses - These are core health courses that provide students with a solid foundation to understand the structure and functioning of health care systems.
• Track Courses - These are courses in one of three tracks chosen by students (economics and policy, information technology and operations or management and organization).
• Elective Courses - These are courses that allow students to expand their knowledge further in an area that interests them.

General Flow of HCPM Coursework:

Students are required to complete 198 units of coursework and an internship while maintaining a 3.0 QPA to graduate.
