Fitchburg State University is expanding its MBA program to including an online program in healthcare management.
The program has been designed to accommodate those already working in the field, with all coursework online in a seven-week time period, Fitchburg State said Monday in announcing the new program. The new MBA can be completed in as short as 12 months.
The healthcare management MBA is aimed at helping students identify and implement effective solutions for challenges in healthcare, with subjects of study including healthcare marketing, finance and law, the university said. It will be taught by the same Fitchburg State faculty who teach on campus.
The new program begins this fall and will have multiple start dates each year. Tuition will be $12,510, with no requirements for a graduate management admission test or graduate record examination.
Fitchburg State also has MBA degrees in management, accounting and human resources management.
