Content: If you're a nurse looking to move beyond clinical care and into leadership, consulting, or entrepreneurship, the FlexPath FPX MBA in Healthcare Management offers a powerful pathway. This flexible, online program blends essential business skills with healthcare-specific knowledge — all within WGU’s innovative competency-based learning model.
The FlexPath FPX MBA includes courses in:
  • Financial management
  • Strategic planning
  • Organizational behavior
  • Healthcare policy
  • Operations management
One of the biggest benefits of FlexPath is its self-paced structure . You pay a flat fee every six months and complete as many courses as possible during that time — making it both affordable and efficient for working professionals.
This program is especially valuable for nurses who want to:
  • Move into executive roles (e.g., Chief Nursing Officer)
  • Launch their own healthcare-related business
  • Consult for hospitals or insurance companies
  • Influence healthcare policy and systems change
FlexPath FPX MBAs are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) and recognized by employers nationwide.

While this path requires strong self-discipline, the payoff can be significant — with graduates often reporting increased earning potential and expanded career opportunities.
