In partnership with Rockhurst University Helzberg School of Management, one of the nation’s leading business schools, KCU medical students may pursue a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in health care leadership. This program and course schedule have been tailored to allow COM students to complete the program in the same four-year time frame as the doctor of osteopathic medicine program.
The DO/MBA dual-degree program allows medical students to develop leadership and management skills in addition to learning the complexities of health care business. Courses include topics such as accounting, economics, finance, human resources, information technology, law, marketing and management.
The MBA in health care leadership degree is awarded by Rockhurst University. All course registration, tuition, billing, and financial aid is coordinated through Rockhurst.
An application process is made available at the end of the first semester of medical school. Applicants must be approved for the dual-degree program by the campus dean of COM in order to pursue this area of study. International students are not eligible to participate in the DO/MBA program. Students must be in good academic standing and pass all courses within KCU-COM or they may be required to withdraw from the MBA portion of the program. For additional details regarding the DO/MBA dual-degree program, please contact the Rockhurst University Graduate College or refer to the Rockhurst website.
