Graduate Program in Health Management
Dual Degree Program
Admissions & Fees
Admissions
To apply for the MBA/MPH program, prospective students must complete the Berkeley MBA application and select the concurrent degree program. The School of Public Health does not require a separate application. MBA/MPH applications must be submitted before the final MBA deadline. Admission decisions follow the MBA schedule. Prospective students are evaluated by a joint review committee including the Executive Director of the Graduate Program in Health Management, the MBA Director of Admissions, and selected MBA/MPH students.
Previous experience suggests that prospective students should aim to meet the admission standards of the MBA program. Throughout the application, prospective students should indicate and demonstrate their commitment to healthcare.
Fees
The fees and tuition for the each semester of MBA/MPH program are the same as for each semester of the full-time MBA program (plus/minus ~$100).
Financial aid
MBA/MPH program students who are eligible for federal student loans are permitted a higher borrowing threshold, often removing the need to seek private loans.
The MBA/MPH program offers a variety of scholarships each year, including:
- David Starkweather Fellowship in Health Management, named in honor of the former Director of the Graduate Program in Health Management (1973-1990)
- Edgar F. Kaiser Fellowship
- Eugene E. Trefethen Jr. Fellowship
