Overview

About the Program

The management program emphasizes an aggressive yet ethical approach to institutional leadership in a complex period of mounting competition and shrinking resources. Health policy students acquire a solid understanding of the process of policy formation on the national, local, and institutional levels. The Health Policy and Management program of the University of Massachusetts Amherst is flexible and allows for specialized pursuit of individual interests.

Students spend three to four semesters taking courses augmenting their prior professional background. Students are encouraged to develop individual interest areas and pursue studies in specialty areas which may include: financial management, program planning and evaluation, policy formation, and quality assurance.
