Master of Business Administration & Master of Public Health

Concurrent Degrees Program

The first of its kind in Canada, this hybrid (face-to-face and online) graduate program is a true interdisciplinary initiative between the Department
of Health Sciences and Goodman School of Business. Its structure allows full-time domestic and international students to complete two degrees in
two years. Part-time studies allow up to six years to complete both degrees. With a focus on public health management, graduates are exposed to
relevant and complementary health and business concepts. The program also includes a mandatory 32-week internship in the second year of study
providing experiential learning in the health sector.
