The Doctor of Health Sciences (DHSc) program prepares professionals to be effective leaders and change agents in a variety of settings in which healthcare is taught or practiced. The program offers innovative curriculum in a flexible, online format with two short summer residencies to best meet student needs. Courses are facilitated by experienced faculty through an interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach. Coursework prepares students to critically analyze ongoing challenges in the health sciences, with a focus on one of two select tracks: healthcare leadership or educational leadership. The program builds competencies to evaluate, plan, and implement solutions to these challenges in academe and clinical settings. The DHSc degree leads to a career in high-level administration, teaching, and applied research or practice, where advanced analytical and conceptual capabilities are essential to advance careers to top executive and academic appointments.
