The DeSales University MSN/MBA program is designed to provide working nurses, who currently have their BSN or RN, the opportunity to enhance their business skills and education base to respond successfully to the challenges of healthcare management.
The program is the first of its kind in the Lehigh Valley. This dual degree provides a well-rounded view of both the clinical and business sides of nursing; thereby opening up more career options.
Students take the standard MBA foundation and core courses as well as those in the nursing degree program. The program consists of 58 credit hours of study (18 courses) and can be completed within three years of full-time study.
Students registered for the dual degree must complete all requirements for both degree programs before the dual degree is awarded. If students want to complete a single degree after matriculation, they must petition both program directors and request reclassification as a single degree student.
