Program Overview

The online Master of Integrated Health Studies (MIHS) degree is an innovative stackable certificate graduate program that prepares post-baccalaureate students to fulfill diverse roles in a variety of health care settings.

The health care system in the U.S. is complex and requires that health care professionals have a unique knowledge base in order to improve health care delivery and health outcomes. The unique aspect of this program is that students customize their degree by successfully completing at least two areas of concentration, which are approved certificates at 帝王会所, as well as core courses, instead of a prescribed pathway.

All of these courses and certificates are offered online which provides the opportunity for this degree to be available to working professionals in need of a flexible curriculum. However, the degree may also be appealing for traditional students who have identified specific areas of interest.

Core foundational knowledge is included in courses on the following topics as related to health care: ethics, interprofessional health promotion, and evidence-based practice or critical thinking and reasoning, and an elective in health care advocacy or vulnerable populations. Certificate offerings include clinical informatics, health care leadership, global health, health care policy, and veterans鈥� health. Finally, the capstone course requires a culminating impact project that is reflective of the innovative nature of this degree.
