Accreditation
The master of science in health systems management is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME). CAHME accreditation represents that a program has been reviewed and approved by its peers and found to meet a set of criteria that signal a robust commitment to high quality. It further demonstrates that a program has voluntarily committed to participate in a plan of continuous, self-improvement.
