Health Sciences Pre-Professional

The Health Sciences Pre-Professional/MBA Combined Degree Program offers students in Pre-Professional programs in the College of Health and Human Sciences to enrich their studies while also expediting their coursework. The students selected for the program will be top performers who have already proven their ability to succeed inside and outside the classroom. While pursuing their undergraduate degree, students will develop in-depth knowledge about the science and ethics for their health-care profession. They will then be able to complement those skills with management knowledge provided by the MBA. The two degrees will open new job opportunities for them and launch them into high-level management positions in their careers.
