College of Public Health collaboration recognized as top program
Value Colleges, an online guide to the best values in undergraduate and graduate college education, has listed UNMC as among the “Top 50 Best Value Dual MBA and Health Management Degrees of 2016.”

The guide looked at all regionally-accredited, reputable, dual degree programs which match an M.B.A. to a health management degree, including, among others, a Master of Public Health, and a Master of Health Administration. UNMC partners with the University of Nebraska at Omaha on an M.B.A./M.P.H. dual degree.

The top 50 were ranked using the following metrics: average graduate student tuition and fees (according to the National Center for Education Statistics, or NCES); reputability (according to U.S. News & World Report rankings, where appropriate); and average salaries (based on data provided by PayScale).
