Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Administration:
Two-Degree Option (MBA/MPA)
Students may also apply for a two-degree option MBA-MPA program. The objective of this program is to permit students with broad interest in both the public and private sectors to double register in both the MBA and MPA programs. With the increasing interdependence of the public and private sectors, this option is attractive to those students wishing to pursue careers in positions responsible for working with their counterparts in private or public organizations. In order to be admitted into the two-degree option, the applicant must specify the option at the time of application to the Graduate School. Students who wish to enter the MBA-MPA program should consult with the Graduate Advisor for the College of Business Administration and with the Director of the MPA program with regard to admission requirements and required courses.
The program consists of 60 hours of graduate study, of which 30 hours are in areas of Business Administration and 39 hours are in areas of Public Administration.
Specific Requirements for the MBA/MPA Two-Degree Option
- Students must meet all admission requirements for both programs.
- Students must meet the Pre-MBA requirements for the MBA degree. See description for the
MBA degree program and the conditions for waiver.
- The program consists of 24 hours of Required MBA Core courses, 6 hours of graduate
business electives, 27 hours of MPA core courses, 3 hours of POLS 5367, and a
comprehensive written exam in the core subject areas of public administration. The number of
hours necessary to complete the two-degree option will vary depending upon each student's
background and previous academic work.
- The core curriculum in each of the separate degree programs must be satisfactorily completed.
- Electives must be approved by the academic advisors of both programs; upon such approval,
the core courses of one program may be used to meet the elective requirements of the other.
- Admission to and continuance in the program are administered separately by the MBA and
MPA Graduate Committees and by the Graduate School.
Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Nursing: MBA/MSN: Two-Degree Option
The MBA/MSN option is a two-degree program in which students pursue the MBA with Health Systems Concentration and MSN in Nursing Administration simultaneously. Students must specify the option at the time of application to the Graduate School and must meet prerequisites for each degree program. Among the many advantages of this program is the opportunity to reduce the total number of semester hours required for the individual degrees (36 for the MBA and 36 for MSN) to 60 semester hours by using required course work in the MSN towards the Health Systems Concentration for the MBA.
Requirements for Admission
Applicants must qualify for admission to both the MBA and MSN in Nursing Administration programs. Specific admissions criteria are listed under the College of Business Administration for the MBA and Procedures and Requirements for Admission into Nursing for the MSN.
Requirements for the Graduate Degrees
- Completion of all MBA and MSN prerequisites
- Completion of a minimum of 60 semester hours, normally evenly divided by MBA and MSN
- Completion of the core courses for each program
- Preliminary and Final Programs of Study approved by the Graduate Advisors for each program and the Graduate School
