Welcome to the intersection where technology, research, and innovation all meet. Some call it the “new” business of health care. We call it your ticket to successful leadership in the profession.

While you already navigate health care’s enormous complexity and continual transformation, your M.B.A. in Health Systems Management from Nova Southeastern University adds a powerful edge. It empowers you to improve patients and stakeholder business solutions as a health care leader or facilitate cutting-edge laboratory findings, medicines, therapies, and device launches as an entrepreneur.

  • Developed by an advisory board of health care leaders, researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
  • Founded on NSU's Center for Collaborative Research's top-level relationships with incubator and early stage health care businesses, biotech, and pharma.
  • Emphasizes experiential learning environment in class and inside the health care business continuum (hospitals, clinics, and research settings, including an experiential capstone course).
