Continuing on to a Master’s Degree

Students in the Advanced Certificate program are encouraged to continue with a master’s degree program. Those interested in health care should apply to the MS in Health Care Policy and Management (HCPM) program. Admission to the MS in HCPM program also requires the student have at least one year of full-time work experience in the health care industry; the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is also required for admission. Students must have appropriate professional status (if applicable), i.e.: licensed, certified or registered. Courses successfully completed during the certificate program may be directly applied to the Master of Science in Health Care Policy and Management degree.

However, for a student who is matriculated in the AC in HCM or who has completed the AC in HCM, no more than 18 credits may be applied to the Master of Science in Health Care Policy and Management. Check under admissions requirements for additional information.  Visit our web site for more information:

Students who want a more general management education should apply to the MBA degree program in the College of Business (formerly Harriman School). Admission to the MBA degree program requires an overall grade point average of at least 3.0; the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) is also required for admission. Please visit http://www.stonybrookcob.com/ for details. Courses successfully completed during the certificate program may be directly applied to the MBA degree.
