FAQ
Tuition and Financing Information
Q. Are scholarships available?
A.
There is limited scholarship funding.
Q. Do I need a sponsor?
A.
We will consider a limited number of health care professionals who are not sponsored on a space-available basis. They will need to meet admission requirements and, unless self-employed, have the endorsement (e.g., a recommendation to attend) as well as support for fulfilling course requirements such as scheduled class time from their employer.
Q. If I am not sponsored, how will I be assigned to a Capstone Project?
A.
Accepted students who are not sponsored may be grouped with others to work on a project of the faculty's choosing rather than on a strategic initiative for their own organizations. Every effort will be made to assign a project in the student's area of interest, but we cannot guarantee the outcome.
Q. What is meant by sponsorship?
A.
The Vanderbilt Master of Management in Health Care was designed in collaboration with health care delivery organizations looking for ways to help their physicians and other clinical managers bridge the management gap and, in doing so, equip them to manage people, processes and initiatives for the company. As a sponsor, the organization identifies the appropriate candidates for the program, pays all or part of the cost of the program for these employees, and supports these individuals as they balance their organizational workload with the requirements of the program.
Q. What's the benefit in sponsoring employees?
A.
This program encourages students to intelligently and immediately apply their newfound knowledge and skills to improve on the job performance in ways that benefit their employers. In addition, the program helps multiple employees within the same organization hone their teamwork skills while addressing a strategic, real-world problem facing the sponsoring organization during the Capstone Project. As a result, this program is ideally suited for organizations that wish to sponsor multiple students.
