The 36 credit program of study fosters the ability to make administrative decisions based on sound management and policy principles, methods and analytical techniques with emphasis on improving the quality of care given to patients while providing satisfying and rewarding work experiences to all members of the organization staff, from the top level managers to the direct-care, front-line workers. The program accommodates working professionals seeking to further their professional training, as well as college graduates preparing to enter the field. A capstone project report based upon solving a real world problem is written just before graduation and rounds out the student's educational development.

Students may wish to concentrate their graduate degree on the effect that massive amounts of data has on public health policy and health care delivery. Coursework in this concentration emphasizes information management and the ways in which health and computer sciences are coupled with information resources and integrated into the management of health care data for clinical, financial or analytical purposes. A capstone project is required for those students who take this option. 

UML offers unique opportunities to those students who are seeking a very broad educational experience in health policy. In addition to courses offered in the Health Management and Policy program, students are encouraged to take courses from a broad range of offerings from UML Departments of Work Environment, Regional Economic and Social Development, Community Psychology and Economics. The Health Policy option is a true interdisciplinary course of study. UML is noted for its involvement in the broadest approaches to health promotion, environmental studies and community development. A capstone project is required for those students who take this option.
