Dual Degree: Business Administration / Health Administration: Curriculum

Overview

65–72 total credits required

The dual MBA-MHA program is typically completed in 2.5 years of full-time study, though it can be extended to as long as 6 years part-time.

Aspects of MBA coursework focus on business concepts such as the Triple Bottom Line theory, which considers social, fiscal, and environmental impacts on sustainable business development. MHA coursework focuses on the unique considerations of the healthcare industry, such as regulatory, quality, and technology needs.

Students in the Dual MBA-MHA program automatically earn the MBA specialization in Healthcare Management and the MHA specialization in Health Administration. Additional coursework will be required for students wishing to pursue a further third specialization.
