M.B.A./P.h.D. in Nursing

In conjunction with the University of Maryland School of Nursing, the M.B.A. /PhD. is offered to students seeking advanced research and practice-based study in the fields of nursing and business administration. The 85-credit curriculum combines elements of the Ph.D. and M.B.A. programs and can be completed in four years of full-time study.

Students may apply to the nursing program first and later apply to the business program when it is appropriate to begin joint-degree coursework. Individuals must meet each school’s admission requirements and complete core and cross-functional courses.

If you are currently a student in the program and have questions, please contact your academic advisor.
