About
The Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Carey Business School of Johns Hopkins University offer the Master's of Public Health and Master's of Business Administration (MPH/MBA) dual degree program.
The MPH/MBA provides experienced professionals with the knowledge and skills to be successful leaders in health-related organizations.
Students pursue an integrated curriculum with both public health and business courses. They are trained in population-based health, strategic planning, health economics and more. The program requires 64 MPH credits and 63 MBA credits for a minimum of 127 total credits to graduate.
Students complete the dual degree program in nine terms (two years). Tuition per term is based on the full-time rate at the Bloomberg School.
How to Apply
Requirements and deadlines are the same as the full-time MPH program. Please note: all MPH/MBA applicants must submit a GRE or GMAT score (including applicants who hold an advanced degree).
Applicants submit only one application for the MPH/MBA through the Bloomberg School. Applications are processed through SOPHAS, and the admissions committees of both schools review applications independently.
