Master of Public Health/MBA

 

Syracuse University’s Whitman School and Falk College have launched a new dual degree program to leverage both Schools’ national reputations and programmatic strengths.

 

The new program  — a master of public health (MPH) combined with the master of business administration (MBA) — will prepare students to be versatile, multidisciplinary and future-leading thinkers who will meet important challenges related to public health and business.

 

Like all dual degree programs, this MPH/MBA dual degree is offered in a streamlined format.  Students will take a minimum of 81 credit hours and can complete the program in three years.

 

Graduates of this program will be prepared for a range of careers in the public and private sector, social organizations, health care leadership, federal and local agencies, non-profit management, consulting and as founders and at transnational NGOs.

 

Admission requirements remain the same for each program with both emphasizing academic credentials, leadership experience and potential. Dual degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are highly demanding, and students should possess the strong analytical abilities and the soft skills needed for leadership positions.
