2017 and 2018 Resumes

Program Information The Sloan Program in Health Administration, founded in 1955, is a full-time two-year residential graduate program located in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management in the New York State College of Human Ecology at Cornell University. The program combines a strong academic curriculum with strong practice learning opportunities. A key emphasis is on the importance of cooperation, innovation and the development of leadership skills. Students regularly work in teams to encourage the development of effective skills for working as either team members or leaders. All Sloan students must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours, a ten-week administrative summer residency, and a group capstone project. Sloan students are offered a multidisciplinary educational approach to health services management, which includes a rich combination of courses. The core curriculum seeks to provide a balanced approach to strategic management theory and practice. Core courses in accounting, organizational behavior, marketing, microeconomics, finance, business strategy, quantitative methods and information technology are combined with instruction in entrepreneurial creativity, the development of leadership skills, law and ethics, epidemiology, quantitative methods, an understanding of health care systems, insurance and managed care, and health policy issues. Students also have the opportunity to take elective courses in the Johnson Graduate School of Management, the School of Hotel Administration, the School of Industrial and Labor Relations, the Law School, Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Department of Design and Environmental Analysis and other Cornell units. Electives allow students to develop a personalized plan of study reflecting their individual academic and professional interests. In addition to the summer internship and the capstone project, practical learning opportunities include the Sloan Colloquium Series (PAM 5990), which brings practitioners to Cornell throughout the academic year for seminars and presentations, an executivein-residence program, and an annual winter intersession field trip on alternating years to New York, NY and Washington, DC during which students meet with national policy makers and health care leaders. The Sloan Alumni Association also sponsors local field trips and a mentor program in which participating alumni are matched with students based on areas of professional expertise and interest. In addition to students in the two-year Sloan MHA graduate program, a small number of students are admitted each year under a five-year bachelor’s/MHA program, which allows select Cornell undergraduates to begin working on their MHA in their senior year at Cornell and complete their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in a total of five years. Curriculum and requirements for the MHA portion of the five-year program are identical to those of the two-year MHA program. Both programs are acreddited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). An accelerated dual (24 months) MHA/ MBA program is also available in cooperation with Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management and a 3-year dual MHA/ MPA program is available in cooperation with the Cornell Institute of Public Affairs (CIPA).

Opportunities After Graduation The majority of recent Sloan graduates have taken management positions with health care systems, consulting firms, managed care and financing organizations, policy institutions, or have been awarded post-graduate administrative fellowships. Alumni include senior executives in leading health systems, consulting firms, insurers, investment banks, pharmaceutical firms, entrepreneurial businesses and a wide range of other health-related organizations.
