Some students may be required to attend the Summer Enrichment Program prior to the formal start of MS program in late August. MS students are required to take twenty credits each semester. They must also take workshops during the winter break that include short two to three day sessions to build personal competencies useful to management including self-analysis of management style, interpersonal communications, exercises in delegating tasks or in mediating conflict. Participatory skill-building workshops complement classroom learning about health management and human resource management. The IPHPM experience culminates in a Capstone Seminar in which students focus on a particular issue and apply the analytical and managerial skills that they are developing to a specific problem. The program offers two tracks: policy and management. Certain required courses are common to both and students study together. Other courses are required or electives for one track. One of the hallmarks of The Heller School and of the MS curriculum is the interdisciplinary and integrative nature of its education programs.
