How to transform strategy and drive innovation in health

The health field – including healthcare delivery, technology, pharmacology, and social factors affecting health – is experiencing disruptive change. There’s never been more demand for dynamic leaders who have the training and perspective to make strategic decisions that promote quality, performance, growth, and innovation.

William S. Bernstein, partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, explains, “Healthcare today is like a Rubik's Cube – its aspects seemingly impossible to align. To imagine a future that isn't bound by conflicting financial incentives and regulatory schemes, tomorrow's leaders must not only study the past but master the strategy, law, policy, and technology that will enable them to innovate a different path.”

The NYU Law and NYU Wagner Master of Science in Health Law and Strategy prepares emerging leaders to navigate and lead organizations through this transformation. It’s a graduate degree from two top-ranked schools, empowering experienced professionals to drive strategy and innovation in health-related fields.

Our curriculum draws on business and management, technology and innovation, and law and policy, providing the skills to effectively analyze and navigate the changing health ecosystem.

The MS in Health Law and Strategy is built on a cohort model, bringing together a strong network of experienced professionals from a wealth of different backgrounds. Students will learn from thought leaders – experts in law, policy, management, business, technology, and innovation – from NYU Law, NYU Wagner, and other prominent organizations. They will also leverage the expertise, resources, and professional networks of both a world-class law school and a top-ranked healthcare policy and management program.

These colleagues and contacts will form an invaluable, long-lasting professional network for our students.

Flexibility is at the core of our MS in Health Law and Strategy program. It’s designed for working professionals, who are ready to respond to and lead the future of healthcare.

The one-year program’s hybrid design combines live online classes, self-paced coursework, and in-person engagement with faculty and peers. It’s a low-residency schedule that’s robust yet realistic, so students can reap the benefits of hybrid learning and meet industry experts face-to-face.

Students will analyze real-world cases and project-based assignments, and develop skills that are immediately applicable to the health sector.

Health professionals can accelerate their careers while exploring timely and powerful solutions to industry challenges with our MS in Health Law and Strategy.
