Business Administration/Health Services Administration, Dual MBA/MHSA

Pursue Your Dreams in Health Care Management

students on laptopsPrepare yourself for a management career in health care by combining the MBA at UM-Dearborn with a Master of Health Services Administration degree at UM-Ann Arbor. Your dual degrees will make you an exceptional candidate for a wide range of positions inside and outside health care.

Our unique program allows you to earn both degrees simultaneously. You can complete the MBA portion of the program online, in the evening on the UM-Dearborn campus, or a combination of both. For the MHSA portion, you’ll need to apply to that program separately and, if admitted, enroll full time on the UM-Ann Arbor campus.

Want to jump start your degrees? If you’re a current UM-Dearborn undergraduate student and you’ve been admitted to the MBA program, you can take up to six graduate credits during your final undergraduate semester.

Where Dual Degrees in Business Administration/Health Services Administration Will Take You

Your dual-degree program will prepare you for leadership roles in a range of institutions within the health care sector and beyond. You’ll be ready for management careers in health systems, hospitals, clinics, and emergency services. You’ll also be equipped for positions as a planner, policy analyst, or consultant focusing on the financing, organization, quality, and delivery of personal health services. And the business management skills you gain from the MBA portion of the program are versatile and transferable across industries.
