Health Care Executive MBA students gain some of the most valuable and enjoyable learning opportunities at the off-site learning experiences, called residentials. Three residentials are required: a local residential before classes begin, a second-year residential on Federal Policy in Health Care, and a final capstone Residential on Executive Leadership.
The Merage HCEMBA is unique in requiring this sequence of intensive residentials.
