Being able to earn two degrees at once is another way to reframe your future and nurture your intellectual curiosity. There are few better places to do that than University of California, Berkeley, where Haas students can take advantage of other top-ranked degree programs to combine an MBA with law, engineering, public health, or international area studies.
Recognizing that health care is an inherently interdisciplinary field, the Haas School of Business and the UC Berkeley School of Public Health partner to offer a concurrent degree program leading to an MBA in Health Management and Innovation and an MPH in Health Policy and Management.
The 30-month MBA/MPH program is highly selective, accepting approximately 20 students per year. The five-semester curriculum is fully integrated, such that students take both MBA and MPH classes simultaneously and have the opportunity to complete two summer internships.
This innovative program prepares students for senior positions in a variety of health-related industries, including care delivery, insurance, biotech, consulting, pharmaceuticals, and social impact.
