JOINT MBA/MPH

The joint MBA/MPH allows you to complete 75% of each degree’s courses, and graduate with both degrees

With shared course credit, that number is closer to 65% of each degree

WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT ?

This is NOT like medical school. No school is as difficult or time consuming as med school

A single MBA class takes me about 3-5 hours a week

A single MPH class is about an average of 1-2 hours a week (we take 2 MPH classes at a time, so 3-4 hours total).

Work consists of online quizzes, weekly chat forums (write a paragraph)

“Finals week” you can expect to be working more.

WHAT IF I TRY IT AND DISLIKE IT?

There is no fee or penalty to drop out

If you start a degree, you can return 20 years later and finish

Only courses taken while a UIC employee are free though. Those taken after residency cost standard tuition

COST
