Zombie thread, but hopefully someone can answer a few questions I have.
I am a prior applying for the HSCP program for the MSC (Health Administrator). I understand that you have to be accepted to a school before you can complete your HSCP package. Because my undergrad will not be conferred until this November 15th, I will miss the fall 2012 start. However, I will be applying to several schools as soon as the fall 2013 admissions open. The problem is that it could take until February or March to find out if I am accepted to a school. So my question is, will there still be any openings available for HSCP that late in the game? Or would I have to accept a school's offer and then apply for the HSCP once the 2013 fiscal year starts (which would be right around the time school starts)?
The dillemma then would be that I will not be able to attend a full-time program if I am not accepted to the HSCP because of family obligations. So, I kind of need to know one way or another before I have to start registering for classes.
My second, and much shorter, question is has anyone been accepted into the program, or even just the MSC without the HSCP, with an MBA? The instruction states that an MBA must have a healthcare emphasis and be AACSB accredited. Some schools' diploma actually states that you received a Healthcare MBA where others' diploma only states MBA but they give you a letter showing that you took the healthcare concentration. Does it matter to the Navy which?
Thanks for any help.
