“At well over $3 trillion per year, the health care economy accounts for over 17 percent of the U.S. economy. However, health care is also governed by a complex set of specialized laws and regulations that affect not only health care service providers, but also all employers and all individuals. Our programs exist to develop our students’ capacity to guide health care providers and others in navigating this complex industry.”

M.Jur. in Health Care Compliance Law
As the health care industry continues to grow and evolve in San Antonio and across the nation, professionals in the field are required to manage an increasing diversity of functions.
The industry has seen an increased emphasis on fraud prevention, an expansion of telemedicine and credentialing, as well as antitrust enforcement and health care privacy regulation.
Ideal candidates for the 30-credit-hour M.Jur. program’s health care compliance concentration are working in health care sectors that intersect with the law or are looking to pivot into the health field.
Program components are curated to offer the most efficient delivery of substantive compliance curriculum and procedural fundamentals. This concentration will familiarize students with those concepts required to obtain certification through the Compliance Certification Board (CCB)®.
Eligibility for the CCB certification exams normally requires CEUs and work experience in the field of compliance. However, students who have successfully completed a CCB accredited masters or certificate program from a participating university are considered to have fulfilled these two requirements and can sit for CCB certification exams by earning a B or higher in each required course. Graduates have up to 12 months to take the CCB certification exams as per CCB External Accreditation guidelines.
