Developed by the Egan School with support of the Charles F. Dolan School of Business, the program provides students the knowledge and experience to pursue a wide range of healthcare-related careers. The program complements various fields of study, from nursing to science to business.
“Healthcare careers are growing at a rapid pace, and Fairfield University’s healthcare partners and alumni support an amazing network of opportunities for students,” stated Sally Gerard, DNP, RN, CNL, CDE, director of the program. “This program is uniquely positioned to advance the careers of experienced healthcare professionals, as well as, add a competitive edge to those new to the field.”

Fairfield University is accepting applications and classes begin Summer 2020.
Admission to the program is open to students who have completed a bachelor’s degree in any discipline.
