Health Care Leadership (Executive)

The Executive Master in Healthcare Leadership (EMHCL) is designed for professionals who have significant responsibility in the healthcare sector; including those from care delivery, pharmaceutical and product manufacturing, healthcare consulting, health management systems, insurance, patient advocacy, public health, policy and regulation institutions.

The program seeks to identify a highly qualified and diverse student cohort. Candidates representing a broad range of experience in the healthcare sector are chosen for each cohort to ensure a rich peer-to-peer learning experience.

The EMHCL Program is delivered in a highly interactive modular blended learning format which takes approximately 18 months to complete. This flexible program is delivered through 15 intensive sessions, each of which is offered every five weeks. Each intensive session requires on-campus or residential attendance of 5 days, for a total of 75 residential days over the 18 months period.

The program totals 45 credit hours. Each credit hour consists of 12.5 hours of class instruction corresponding to 1.5 on-campus days. Each on-campus day consists of eight class hours of instruction.

Students are required to submit a graduate application online, and to have a GPA of at least 80 or 3.0 and good recommendations to be considered for admission in a process that is competitive. Applicants to any graduate program other than AUB graduates and graduates of recognized colleges or universities in North America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, must demonstrate proficiency in the English language.

The University provides fellowships covering partial or full tuition and a small stipend for students at the graduate level in return for a specified number of work hours per week in an academic department. Recipients are selected on the basis of their academic record and departmental needs.
