Program Announcement

The MS-HPE is a two-year executive program intended for professionals who have already obtained a degree in a health professions field. The program will be offered in a hybrid format, with the majority of content being offered virtually. Coursework for the program will be taught by our world class Feinberg faculty and cover Curriculum Development, Introduction to Education Research, Learning Theory, Statistics, Assessment, Qualitative Research, Educational Technology, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Belonging.

At two points during the first year of the program and twice again during the second year, students will be invited to our beautiful downtown Chicago campus to participate in four-day intensive residencies. These residencies will allow students to delve further into course topics and gain knowledge in specialized subjects, such as mastery learning. The final residency will bring students together in Chicago to present their capstone projects, which will be a culmination of their work, mentored by Feinberg faculty.
