MBA/MPH Dual Degree
Passionate about serving others as a manager or administrator? Consider a dual master’s degree in business administration and public health.
Prepare to manage and administer public health programs with the powerful combination of a MBA/MPH dual degree from UNMC and UNO.

The Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Health dual degree program is designed for students who desire specialized expertise and training in public health management and administration.
Students in this program learn how to manage and administer public health programs and how to use empirical data to analyze the efficacy and feasibility of health policies and management decisions.
Why Study Business Administration and Public Health at UNMC?
The MBA/MPH dual degree program is a collaboration between UNMC — a recognized leader in health security, implementation science, rural health, and cancer prevention research — and the University of Nebraska-Omaha's highly rated College of Business Administration.
Program Snapshot
Application Information
All applicants must apply and be accepted into each of the two programs. You will be evaluated by each degree program in separate admissions processes. Admission into either program does not guarantee admission into the other program.
MBA/MPH dual-degree students may take both business and public health courses in a sequence based on a plan of study agreed upon by faculty advisors from both programs. Students with non-business degrees may be required to complete foundational courses through the College of Business. MBA course credit hours transfer to the MPH degree to fulfill elective credit requirements, so students complete 33-36 credit hours towards the MPH program, depending on student concentration.

Due to their interdisciplinary and diverse skills, MBA/MPH graduates will be equipped to work in various public health capacities, commercial or industrial employment, hospitals or insurance settings, or universities. Over 90% of our MPH students find career positions within 12 months of graduation.
