Program Description
The Vanderbilt Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in healthcare is a two-year, on-campus program designed for current healthcare professionals desiring business experience or those wanting to enter the healthcare business. Our MBA degree features a core foundation of general management courses, and the healthcare concentration can be paired with additional business concentrations. Some students pursue an MD/MBA joint degree. You can find out more about that in our course catalog. You might be asking, "Is an MBA worth it?" MBA salaries and MBA career paths often surpass those of non-MBA professionals, which more than offsets the cost of tuition. And Vanderbilt consistently places high in MBA rankings from the most trusted ranking institutions while still offering a truly unique Master of Business Administration program.
