u YOUR SMART MOVE
Through cross-recognition of courses, this dual program leads to two degrees: the Physician Assistant (MS) and Master of Business Administration. • The dual program complements UM-Flint’s PA program with world class business knowledge and skills to improve the effectiveness and operational success of vital health organizations. • The curriculum allows the PA student or graduate to apply up to 12 specified credits toward both degrees. • The degrees are independent; each is awarded when completed with specified credits accepted for the second degree after the first has been awarded. • MBA program courses are offered in online and on-campus formats. • The student applies for admission to each degree program independently. • PA students will be granted GMAT waivers for admission to the MBA program.
