Earning an MBA in Healthcare Management, in addition to your graduate healthcare degree, will prepare you for leadership roles in healthcare or for managing your own practice.

Why Earn an MBA While Earning Your Healthcare Degree

Earning an MBA can help you:

• Learn managerial practices in the business world and in a healthcare setting.
• Understand critical skills to run a modern healthcare practice, including accounting, marketing, quality and operations management, and organizational diversity and leadership.
• Increase your income. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual pay for medical and health services managers in 2021 was $101,340. The top 10% of earners in this field were paid more than $205,620 that year. Plus, the Graduate Management Admission Council's 2022 Corporate Recruiters Survey found that new MBA graduates' starting salary was 22% to 40% more than new hires with only a bachelor's degree.

Financial aid is available for the MBA program, including scholarships available to Pacific healthcare students. Students enrolling in the Dual MBA/Healthcare degree will submit an application for admission to the MBA program, and the additional application requirements are waived.
