M.S.N. + M.B.A. Dual Degree

Biblical — Cedarville’s commitment to the authority of the Bible is the basis for discussions on medical ethics, the sanctity of life, origins, and the balanced integration of faith and learning. As a result, you will be equipped to influence your profession and culture for Christ. You will also study business through a biblical lens that emphasizes excellence in personal standards, stewardship of God-given talents and resources, leadership with a servant’s heart, and kingdom influence through serving others.

Cost Effective — Your M.S.N. Nursing Leadership area of focus courses will satisfy up to one-third of the M.B.A. coursework, reducing the time – and cost – it will take to complete the M.B.A. portion of your dual degree.

Employability — By adding an M.B.A. to your M.S.N. degree, you will be equipped for management and high-level administration roles within various healthcare settings.

You will complete 12 graduate nursing core semester hours, 9 direct care core semester hours, 20 semester hours of specialty courses, and 3 semester hours of a graduate-level Bible course (if this Bible requirement was not previously satisfied with an undergraduate Bible minor or approved alternative). For your M.B.A., you will take eight core M.B.A. courses that will give you general business knowledge and skills. These 27 hours combined with the nine hours of M.S.N. Nurse Leadership in Healthcare Innovation elective courses (taken as part of your M.S.N.) will complete your M.B.A. requirements. This dual degree opportunity is jointly offered by the School of Business and the School of Nursing.
