The Health Care Administration Program is for students already holding an associate or bachelor degree from a regionally accredited college. In addition to the completion program requirements, all students must meet the minimum bachelor degree general education and residency requirements as listed in the Mercy College of Northwest Ohio college catalog. Students must posses a degree from an accredited college or university and have maintained a 2.3 cumulative GPA.
Note: Students with previous associate or bachelor degrees and at least six months of healthcare management experience may be eligible to have the 96-hour health care administration internship requirement waived.
Once a student enrolls at Mercy College, only six hours of credit can be transferred in from another institution of higher education to satisfy the graduation requirements of each program of study in which the student enrolls.
