After satisfying the MBA foundation course requirements, completion of both degrees is possible in four years instead of the five years that would ordinarily be required

Joint Degrees – M.S. in Health Policy and Management and MBA
The joint degrees program in business administration and health policy and management offers the master’s of business administration (M.B.A.) through the USM School of Business, and the master’s degree in health policy and management (M.S.) through the Muskie School of Public Service. The program allows students to earn both the MBA and M.S. simultaneously by designating a certain number of crossover courses that satisfy the graduation requirements of each degree. Full time students may thus complete both degrees in three years instead of the four years that would ordinarily be required. Separate admission is required.
Please see the graduate catalog for program requirements, course descriptions and prerequisite requirements: www.usm.maine.edu/catalogs
