HEALTH CARE MBA ADMISSION & FEES

Your first step is to start the application online. In the application, you will answer some questions and upload the documents described below. Once you've completed all components you will submit the application, and can log back into the portal at any time to check the status of your application materials.

In the online application, you will upload your resume that outlines all relevant experience.

As part of the application, we ask you to answer three essay questions. You can either download a PDF of essay questions and upload that form once you've answered the questions, or upload your own document that answers these questions:

• Describe one or two problems facing the U.S. health care system that you are most concerned with. (500 to 750 words)
• Explain in detail your management style and your leadership traits. Incorporate feedback you've received and cite examples from your recent work history that illustrate both your personal strengths and your development objectives. (500 to 750 words)
• Describe two or three significant professional or organizational accomplishments. For each example depict your precise role and tell how the experience helped to shape your management philosophy and skills. (500 to 750 words)

To apply to this program, you must have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution (or the international equivalent). We need original transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions you have attended, sent directly from the school. The only exception is for advanced placement courses and study abroad transfer credits—we don’t need transcripts for those.

Send via email: If your institution offers electronic transcripts, ask them to email your transcript(s) to gradadmissions@stthomas.edu.

Send via mail: Paper transcripts must be submitted in sealed envelopes and signed by the appropriate university official. Send to:
