About Master Of Public Health (MBA/mph In Management) in DePaul University

The health care field needs leaders who can design and deliver innovative and practical solutions. The MBA in Management/Master of Public Health in Community Health Practice (MBA/MPH) joint-degree program will develop your managerial acumen and expertise as a public health professional. You’ll gain skills in finance and operations as well as an in-depth understanding of disease prevention and health promotion at the organizational and community level.

The MBA/MPH joint-degree program is designed for highly motivated students who work or plan to work in management, executive, or consulting positions in community/population health. You’ll earn advanced degrees in two highly complementary fields—public health and business—from our College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and internationally renowned Kellstadt Graduate School of Business in as little as three years of full-time coursework.

Classes are offered during the evenings on the Loop Campus. The practicum completed during the final year will require some daytime availability.
