Are you ready for the program?
The program is the only CAHME accredited course in Canada designed to suit students who do not yet have healthcare sector experience. Therefore, although many of our students do have extensive experience in healthcare, you can apply for the program from any undergraduate background: recent graduates have joined us from medicine, accounting, architecture and engineering.
Please note: all MHA applicants must complete the GMAT, and MHA/JD applicants must complete the LSAT.
