Information for Healthcare Organizations

91ÊÓƵ welcomes go-getters who want to make an impact in healthcare organizations. We holistically review all applications to the Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy to ensure students are prepared to succeed in a program focused on complex legal issues related to law itself, in addition to healthcare operations, financing, and administration. Applicants are not required to hold a degree in law or have prior legal experience.

There are two opportunities to start per year. The upcoming start date is Fall 2023.

We review applications to the online health law certificate program on a rolling basis. You can expect to receive an admission decision within two weeks following receipt of your application and supporting documents.

If you have questions or need help with your application, please contact an admission advisor by calling (914) 422-4210 or emailing admission@law.pace.edu.

Health law is a unique practice area because it focuses on an industry, rather than a specific body of law. Health law touches all aspects of the health services industry, including the organization, financing, and delivery of health care services.
