UNF provides exceptional undergraduate Bachelor of Health Administration (BHA) students with the opportunity to complete the requirements for both the bachelor's and master's degrees at an accelerated pace. Accelerated tracks allow students to get a head start on their graduate education by taking graduate courses during their junior and senior undergraduate years. Up to 12 credit hours of graduate work may count toward a baccalaureate degree, thus reducing the time it takes to get both degrees.

When accepted into the BHA-MHA Accelerated Pathway Program, the following MHA courses may be taken in place of their corresponding BHA courses.

• HSA6520 Managerial Epidemiology (3 Credits) can be taken in place of HSA3522 Managerial Epidemiology (3 Credits).
