Priority Deadline for Fall '26 Intake:

The healthcare industry is undergoing a profound transformation — from shifting payment models and workforce challenges to rapid advances in digital health, biotech and policy. Meeting this moment requires leadership not just within individual organizations, but across the entire system.
Brown University's Master of Science (Sc.M.) in Healthcare Leadership is an accredited, one-year program designed for professionals working across the healthcare ecosystem — from care delivery and insurance to pharma, health tech and government.
The best of an MBA + MHA.
Unlike a traditional MBA or MHA, this program develops leaders who understand both the business fundamentals and the complex, interconnected forces unique to healthcare. Through a curriculum taught by Brown faculty and shaped by diverse peer perspectives, you will:
- Build core business and management skills applied directly to the healthcare context
- Develop a deep understanding of the policy, economics and global forces shaping the healthcare system
- Strengthen your ability to lead, influence and drive meaningful change across organizations and sectors
- Learn alongside professionals from every corner of the industry and build lasting relationships across it
In one year, you will be equipped to lead change at every level of the healthcare system — and help shape how care is delivered, financed and experienced.
