Program Requirements
To achieve the PHL certificate a student must receive a grade of B or higher in all courses. PHL students must take CHM 7510 as a required course and choose one course from two of the following subject areas: communications; ethics; finance & budgeting; grant writing; and management. See the list of recommended courses below. In the event a PHL student is concurrently working toward or has already earned a Health Care Management (HCM) Certificate then none of the HCM required courses will count toward the PHL certificate. In these cases, the PHL student must choose three non-HCM courses in unique subject areas.
Marketing:
- MBA 7600 - Marketing Strategy Credit Hour(s): 3
In addition to these recommended courses, Wright State graduate courses that complement the leadership principles and skills covered in CMH 7510 (the only course required of all certificate students) can be considered as potential electives for the PHL certificate. If a student proposes a WSU course not on the list above, then the student must provide a rationale for taking the elective prPior to enrolling. The PHL certificate director will make the final decision on whether the course is approved.
