Areas of Study

This master's degree is designed to enable medical students and people across the health care industry to lead change in existing organizations, become transformational leaders, and create high-value services in the health sector. 

The one-year Master of Science in Health Care Transformation (MSHCT) degree equips leaders and emerging leaders across the health care sector with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to design and lead health care services that achieve better health and better value for individuals and families.

Admission Requirements

The MSHCT degree program is designed for students with professional experience across the health care sector. Exceptions will be made for medical students and/or medical residents as their training provides equivalent experience and clinical knowledge. All courses required for program completion are offered in accordance with University policies that govern non-formula-funded (Option III) programs.

All applicants will be required to meet the Graduate School’s general requirements for admission. The Admissions Committee may consider waiving the GMAT/GRE requirement in the MS in Health Care Transformation program when one of the following conditions is met: (1) five years of professional experience, (2) an advanced degree, or (3) an expired GMAT/GRE. Upon admission to the program, students must pay a nonrefundable enrollment deposit to indicate that they accept the offer of admission. The deposit is applied to the payment of tuition when the student enrolls.

Admission into the MD/MSHCT dual degree program is only open to current Dell Medical School students.
