Applicants who have a baccalaureate degree but who do not meet the minimum grade point average or years of experience or GMAT who show promise as a graduate student may be awarded this status. It permits the student to earn up to nine Master of Health Administration graduate credits and gain regular admission upon earning a grade of B or better in each of the first three courses.

Prerequisite competence in accounting I and II, and microeconomics is required for courses MHA 505, Healthcare Accounting and Financial Management and MHA 506, Economics for Healthcare Managers. This requirement may be satisfied by documentation of undergraduate study, application of applied knowledge, or completion of mini courses (available through the Bolte School of Business) in these two disciplines.
