Master of Science in Healthcare Management (MSHM)

Launch your career with a healthcare management degree

Description of the video:

My long-term career aspirations are to become a healthcare executive, whether that's a COO or a CEO. The MSHM program has really prepared me to work my way up the ladder until I reach that goal. One big factor for me in thinking about going to grad school was what kind of change could I make career-wise. Before coming into the program, I spent about eight years in logistics and manufacturing. In a year's time the MSHM program really armed me with the six healthcare competencies that I needed to be able to go from having no healthcare experience to jumping into a healthcare role and being able to thrive. Being a joint program between Kelley and O'Neill, some key things that I took away were being creative being innovative and we always talked about being transformational healthcare leaders and that's what I'm trying to take and instill into my current position. Where I am at IU Health they really place a lot of value on you and what you bring to the table. So I just really wanted to make sure I could be an asset to team members, to patients if I ever had to come across any and I give all thanks to the MSHM program for really arming me with those tools.

Develop skills that will set you apart

We worked with over 50 healthcare leaders from across the industry to identify the skills our graduates need, including opportunities for leadership experience and certifications, and maintaining a focus on wellness.

100% of O'Neill master's students are considered for funding.

We are committed to investing in the healthcare leaders of tomorrow and believe our degree should be available to anyone who has the acumen and passion.

This program is offered both as a part-time option for working professionals or as a full-time option for those who have the aspiration (and time) to complete it in one year.

We've also worked hard to make it affordable for all, with 100% of students receiving funding through generous packages for Indiana resident students and through the recent creation of the O'Neill + Kelley Scholars Program to provide 50% of tuition to out-of-state domestic students. 

All applicants are automatically reviewed for the O’Neill + Kelley Healthcare Scholars Program award – no separate application needed.

With up to 50% tuition support, a median healthcare management salary of $117,960, and the skills and experience needed to advance in your career into healthcare management and leadership, your return on investment becomes significantly stronger.
