A total of 66 graduate credits is required for completion of the Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA)/Doctor of Health Science (DHSc) joint degree, comprising ten required MHA courses (30 credits) and ten required DHSc courses (36 credits).

Students must be admitted into the joint MHA/DHSc program and may not transfer into the joint MHA/DHSc while matriculated in the MHA program.

Students must earn a cumulative MHA degree GPA of at least 3.50 and be in good standing to proceed with the doctoral phase of the program.

While in the doctoral program, students must earn a term GPA of at least 3.00 to maintain matriculation in the program. Students who earn a term GPA of less than 3.00 while in the doctoral phase of the program will be terminated from the program. Additionally, doctoral course grades below B- will need to be repeated.

Because of the online nature of the DHSc program, international students on the F-1 visa will not be allowed to enroll in this program. The use of B-2, ESTA, VWP, or other temporary visitors' visas for the required in-person residencies is not possible because these visas do not permit study toward degree attainment.
