Biomedical Engineering and Master of Business Administration.
This innovative program will give you the acumen to develop innovative technology that enhances quality of life, the financial ability to make those products viable in the marketplace, and the managerial skills to lead successful engineering and technology firms.
The Duquesne MBA/MS in Biomedical Engineering joint degree is offered cooperatively by the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business and the John G. Rangos Sr. School of Health Sciences. This dual-degree program will help prepare graduates to enter the fast-paced technology-based healthcare industry with a strong business acumen that will propel them into upper level managerial positions.
A combined 74 credits for these two degrees, 32 credits for the M.S. in Biomedical Engineering and 42 credits for the MBA, is reduced to 65-68 credits through credit sharing. The MBA capstone course may be waived, if the MS-BME thesis/research requirement is fulfilled through a project with a corporate partner.
