No, you are probably not a good candidate for the program at this time. I am not currently working in health care and have less than two (2) years of work experience. Once entering the program, in most cases, participants are expected to complete their Integrated Project within two years. You should either apply to the program, or take a few courses as an “Undeclared Major” before deciding to apply to the program. Keep in mind that for the final capstone course of our programs, HLED 8280 Leadership Integrated Project, participants are expected to find a suitable project relevant to the health care organizational setting. If you have significant work experience in some industry sector other than health care, you will need to transfer your related skills and experience to the health care setting. Normally, individuals pursue managerial and organizational leadership roles, after establishing roots and experience at the front-line of work. The learning activities in the program are designed to combine your work experience and current exposure to a health care work setting, with the theory, perspectives, and practices taught in the courses. It sounds like you are planning to make a change in the direction of your career. Yes, you would be a good candidate for the program.
