Health Leadership Program
The Health Leadership program at Penn is unique. Unlike most nursing graduate programs, this 12.5 C.U. program allows you unparalleled freedom to design the focus of your studies. You have five elective courses that can be taken in any graduate program in the University of Pennsylvania.
