Turn Your Certificate Credits Into a Full Master’s Degree
You’ve already built a strong foundation in health law. Through Introduction to the American Legal System with Professor Ronald Colombo and Health Law with Professor Steven Richman, you have explored the legal structures, reasoning, and healthcare issues that shape the field. You’ve also selected two electives aligned with your interests, giving you a more personalized view of the topics that matter most to your work and goals.
That foundation is only the beginning.
By continuing into the online Master of Arts in Health Law and Policy, you can transfer all credits earned in the certificate program toward the full degree and continue building a deeper context for the changing healthcare legal environment. Certificate students complete at least 9 credits, leaving up to seven additional courses to complete the MA pathway in as little as 14 months.
