Students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Health Administration must successfully complete 15 graduate level credits. All coursework is offered through the Zuckerman College of Public Health and the courses are offered in-person (via video-conferencing) on the Tucson and Phoenix MEZCOPH campuses.

The time needed to complete the certificate requirements largely depends on a student’s existing commitments at entry to the program and especially the support the student has from his/her supervisor or employer to participate in the program. Students are strongly encouraged to secure sufficient support to complete the program within one to two years.

In general, most students should plan to devote between 5-10 hours a week to complete each course.
