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.
