1-Year Track vs. 2-Year Track

For students ready to commit to a demanding academic schedule, Dartmouth's MHA degree is attainable in 12 months

Two Paths, One MHA

Students admitted to the MHA degree program have an important decision to make. Dartmouth offers two paths to attain their degree. In the standard track, students will take one course at a time over 8 consecutive terms to complete their degree in 24 months. This track requires one live class per week and approximately 16 hours of student engagement per week. Students in the accelerated track take two courses at time, with two live classes per week, and complete their degree in 12 months. This rigorous course load requires students to commit to approximately 32 hours of academic engagement per week.

    "The ability to continue working full-time with the 2-year track gives me the opportunity to not only apply learnings from the classroom immediately into my work, but also bring experiences from work to contribute to rich conversations with my professors and classmates."
