M.S.N./M.B.A. Dual Degree
The M.S.N./M.B.A. dual degree combines graduate programs from the CCNE-accredited School of Nursing and AACSB-accredited School of Business into a unique online combined curriculum. Curriculum includes nursing leadership and management as well as core business education including finance and accounting and analytical models. The combined 51-credit curriculum, taught online in 8-week accelerated format, allows students to earn two degrees with 15 fewer credits than would be required taking both graduate programs individually.
