MBA/MPH Dual Degree
This unique 23-month full-time program of study will enable students to integrate the philosophies, functions, and competencies of the seemingly disparate fields of public health and business. Students in this program will acquire knowledge and skills in the principles of population-based health as well as finance and management, which will enable them to be effective managers and leaders in health-related agencies and organizations. Graduates will be able to assess the public health needs of a defined population; develop, analyze, and implement targeted health policies and programs; lead the process of change within their organization and community; manage health care organizations to achieve identified goals; and communicate messages to targeted audiences.
