MSA graduate Deborah Minton MSA degree with a concentration in Health Services Administration Deborah Minton is a Nurse Manager at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. She received statewide recognition for her final MSA project on color-coding the uniforms of the various levels of patient care facilitators at her hospital. I wanted to choose something that had a lot of meaning, said Deborah. My project has had a ripple effect through communications, patients, families, visitors, and I will be able to use this throughout my career.

4 The MSA Concentrations 18 Credit Hours Students also choose a concentration that best fi ts their career goals. CMU Off-Campus Programs offers the following choices: Acquisitions Administration General Administration (also available online) Health Services Administration Human Resources Administration Information Resource Management (also available online) International Administration (also available online) Leadership Public Administration According to Christi Amato, it all started because she wanted it all: a full-time job with career progression and to start a family. With my husband in the military, says Christi, we re gone every two to three years. In my undergraduate degree, I jumped from institution to institution and lost coursework and credits in the process. I didn t want to go through that again. Having the security of CMU being at so many military bases was a big factor for me. A CMU degree is portable, affordable, and most conducive to working families. For complete information on the concentrations available at locations near you or online and any new concentrations that may have been added, please see the inserts in the back pocket of this booklet. Joseph and Christi Amato MSA degrees with concentrations in Acquisitions Administration and Public Administration Her experience was so positive, her husband decided to pursue his degree. According to Joe, Military people view CMU as a very flexible university that has the degrees we need for advancement. The courses are challenging, rewarding, and I feel that I have learned things that I can bring to my job and to decisions I have to make in life.
