AAS to MBA 3+1+1
The EMCC Healthcare Management Pathway
The Healthcare Management Pathway provides students with the knowledge and skills to lead in the quickly expanding health services industry.
Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in Administrative Office Technology, Business and Marketing Management Technology, or Medical Billing & Coding Technology from EMCC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor's degree.
Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Healthcare Management Concentration can be completed entirely online in one year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.
This pathway can be completed all online.
