Master of Science in Nursing/Master of Business Administration Degree Program
Jacksonville University offers a dual degree program in which qualified students may obtain both a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. This innovative program allows cross crediting of coursework.
This dual degree program is designed for nurses interested in executive-level management careers. Jacksonville University’s program offers broad exposure to advanced-level nursing knowledge in managing and planning health care services. Students enrolled in the dual MSN/MBA degree program complete graduate level core courses in nursing and business. Graduates are awarded a Master of Science in Nursing and a Master in Business Administration. If students complete the MSN requirements prior to the MBA requirements they will be issued a letter indicating the completion of the MSN. The degree is a dual degree and will be conferred at the completion of both programs.
Program Requirements
Students who choose the dual MSN/MBA degree program will be required to apply to and be admitted into both the MSN and MBA programs. They will be required to complete 42 credits in the Davis College of Business Graduate Program in addition to the 15 credits of MSN core.
