Dual MBA Degree
For students jointly pursuing education in an allied health profession and in business
Why Pursue a Dual MBA Degree?
The health care industry is an ever-changing landscape. Those in leadership positions must navigate complex issues associated with patient care, operations, change management, public policy, and more. Students jointly pursuing education in an allied health profession and in business are uniquely prepared not only for health care practice, but also for taking on key decision-making roles in health care organizations.
