The joint-degree program in management and public health is intended for students who plan careers in both sectors and are interested in the ways in which management skills can be applied in healthcare organizations.
Two-Year Intensive MBA/MPH
This innovative program, the first of its kind in the United States, enables qualified applicants to earn an MBA and an MPH in just 22 months through intensive study at the Yale School of Management and the Yale School of Public Health. In the two-year intensive joint-degree program, students spend the first summer taking core courses at the School of Public Health and the first year at Yale SOM, during which they take the integrated MBA curriculum and participate in the International Experience course during spring break. Between the first and second years, students pursue a summer internship in the healthcare industry. In the second year, they take elective courses at the School of Management and core and elective courses at the School of Public Health.
Three-Year MBA/MPH
In the three-year joint-degree program, students spend one of the first two years at Yale SOM, during which they take the integrated MBA curriculum, and the other at the Yale School of Public Health. In the third year, they take electives at both schools.
Admissions
Joint-degree applicants must apply to and be admitted to both programs independently. Applicants to the three-year joint-degree program may apply to both programs simultaneously, apply to the School of Public Health during their first year at Yale SOM, or apply to Yale SOM during their first year at the School of Public Health. Applicants to the two-year intensive joint-degree program must apply to both programs simultaneously. The two-year MBA/MPH joint-degree program is not available to candidates applying to the Silver Scholars Program.
