Gonzaga to add health care MBA
A new MBA program at Gonzaga University will prepare graduates to manage health care entities such as private medical practices and medical centers.
The 33-credit, part-time program will begin this fall, according to a university press release.
Several area medical professionals were consulted on the program’s curriculum and outcomes, the release said.
Students will need to take the 12-hour core curriculum required of all masters of business administration candidates. The remainder of their classes will be specific to health care business management.
In addition, the specialization will require students complete an internship with a Spokane medical facility.
