Gain a competitive edge in your healthcare management career with a degree backed by O’Neill and Kelley

In this program offered by the O’Neill School and the Kelley School of Business, healthcare professionals can gain a competitive edge with an Online Master of Science in Healthcare Management (MSHM). By integrating the #1-ranked health policy and management expertise of the O’Neill School with the pioneering online excellence of the Kelley School of Business, we deliver a curriculum that is as prestigious as it is flexible. Ranked #27 among public institutions for healthcare management graduate programs, ours is specifically designed for the working professional who refuses to choose between a top-tier business management education and specialized healthcare leadership. 

We believe our degree should be available to everyone who has the passion and acumen, so we've 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.

This program is designed for both working professionals and for students straight out of school. If you don't have previous industry experience and you have the time and aspiration, you might choose to go online, full-time, with the option to complete the program in just one year. 

However, if you're a working professional, you can chose the online, part-time format to work around your busy schedule while still refining and expanding your leadership and management skills. Students will also have the opportunity to receive additional national certifications based on areas of interest.
