Mini MBA Healthcare Management
Sharpen Your Business Skills to Lead Your Healthcare Organization
In healthcare, great business and management skills can be the difference between good care and excellent care — and the difference between life and death. Our Mini MBA Healthcare Management program, in partnership with Opus VI, is an online, twelve-week course that equips you with the business and management foundation to help you positively shape lives and guide your organization to greatness.
Healthcare leaders are champions, which is why our program’s innovative approach features insights from three champion athletes, including Olympic medalists and Super Bowl winners, about what it takes to master your mindset and succeed.
Participants will receive an Eller Executive Education certificate from the University of Arizona upon completion. If participants submit their work and capstone for grading, they can earn three graduate credits for prior learning that can be applied to any master’s degree at Eller College of Management.
