Welcome to the Cornell University Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy Sloan Program in Health Administration – MHA Residential Degree for Early Careerists

Cornell Founding Principle

“I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” 

– Ezra Cornell, 1868

In the Sloan Program, we stay true to Ezra Cornell’s 1868 principle. We believe everyone deserves a seat at the health care table and that the best health care leaders surround themselves with people least like themselves. To allow every voice to be at the health care table, we aspire to enroll a talented, diverse class of early careerists and then we allow academic flexibility so that Sloan students can customize their business curricula.

We accomplish this by allowing students to complement the 45 core, required health care management credits with 15-35 elective credits. Additionally, we offer Sloan signature offerings such as a Colloquium, the Capstone course, Practitioner-Led Intensive Courses (PLICs), and the option for a concentration. These offerings allow students to fully explore health care, master business and management competencies in accordance with CAHME guidelines, and eventually enter any health care sector as an emerging leader. We welcome you to learn more about our curricular options, engage with us so we can answer your questions, learn about the Ithaca, New York campus, and, most importantly, to apply for admission.
