  Application Deadlines 

  Please note: Official application deadlines for each semester are

  • Fall Semester: August 1
  • Winter Semester: November 1

  Applying after the deadline

  It is always best to submit a completed application by the deadline in order to ensure that there is sufficient time for the MHSA Program and Admissions Office to review and process it. Although it is possible to submit a late application after the official application deadline has passed, it would be reviewed and processed only if time permits. Your chances depend on the number of students who applied on time and accepted their spot after the admission selection round.

  There are two ways to apply:

  Option 1 is directly through 樱桃视频, the online application is free - . Admissions Office, 4001 W. McNichols Rd., Detroit, MI 48221. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-635-5020.
  Option 2 is through the Healthcare Administration, Management & Policy Centralized Application System (HAMPCAS).

  Grading Policies

  Successful completion of all Health Services Administration courses (HSA, ETH, PYC, HLH) is dependent upon achievement of the minimum grade standards (see below). The internship stands as an independent course separate from the theory/didactic courses and students receive separate grades for the internship. These grades are calculated into the cumulative GPA. A letter grade is awarded based on achievement of the course objectives. 

  Grades are assigned by the faculty scheduled to teach a course. Grades are determined based on the evaluation criteria and competencies described in the course syllabus. Faculty utilizes their clinical expertise and academic judgment when assigning a grade. Grades cannot be assigned by any other person than the faculty teaching that course and a grade can only be changed by the faculty person who assigned the grade. A passing grade cannot be appealed or grieved.  

  Academic standards are set to ensure that the Master’s degree in Health Services Administration signifies that student work meets or exceeds academic excellence and industry standards. The MHSA graduate program considers a grade below B- in any of the MHSA courses to represent unsatisfactory academic progress. 

  In order to remain in good standing and/or to progress in the MHSA Program, graduate students must: a) fulfill all prerequisite requirements, b) maintain a Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and c) earn grades of ‘B-’ or better in all courses.  

  When a graduate student’s cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, or when a grade below “B-” is earned in any course, even though their cumulative GPA may be above 3.0, the student will be placed on Academic Probation by the Health Services Administration Program and will be notified by registered mail. The student has one semester to bring his/her CGPA up to 3.0. 

  The graduate student must repeat any course in which less than a B- was earned at the first opportunity and earn a grade of B- or higher, as well as maintain his/her CGPA at 3.0 or higher, to progress onward in the curriculum. It is the responsibility of the student to follow up with the advisor if the student receives a poor or failing grade in a course. The purpose of this communication is to notify the student of his/her academic standing and provide additional support and guidance that will enable the student to improve his/her academic performance and successfully complete the MHSA degree. A course may be repeated only once.

  Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program unless the student is able to demonstrate unusual or extraordinary circumstances that are responsible for his/her performance.
