MLS - Traditional Master of Science in Healthcare Administration Track

Medical Laboratory Science
Master of Science in Healthcare Administration Track
Rationale: The continued shortage of qualified laboratory personnel is resulting in medical laboratory scientists with less experience and fewer qualifications being moved into supervisory and management positions within the clinical laboratory. The Master of Science in Healthcare Administration (MSHA) track within the medical laboratory science program will prepare graduates for entry-level practice in the clinical laboratory with a strong foundation in management theories and practices specifically related to leading and managing a clinical laboratory.
Qualifications: A candidate for the MSHA program must meet prerequisite requirements for the standard option within the MLS program and have been accepted into the MLS program. The minimum overall GPA for a candidate to be considered for the MSHA track is an overall 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 GPA scale. The candidate will apply to the MSHA program in the spring semester of their first year enrolled in the MLS program.
Curriculum: Students accepted into the MSHA program will be required to complete 36 semester hours to meet degree requirements. This will include 27 hours of core requirements within the MSHA program, 6 credit hours of requirements within the Medical Laboratory Science program, and 3 credit hours within the Molecular Pathology program.
