for the Master of Health Administration, students must complete an internship within the administrative realm of an actual healthcare organization. Students will work directly with the Director of Internships to select an organization of interest. Students are required to fulfill 240 contact hours within their selected organization over the course of the semester, or approximately 18-20 hours per week.\n\nMany healthcare organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include but is not limited to, law enforcement fingerprinting, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. It is advised that, in the semester before the internship, the student contact the organization directly to obtain further information on the organization's background check requirements. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Director of Internships to schedule an interview to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Services Administration Program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks\n\nIn rare circumstances, students with three or more years of relevant healthcare management experience may qualify for an independent study internship option and are required to contact the Director of Internships and the MHA Program Director for approval.</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>57</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.
