Post-Master's DNP > MBA option with DNP Track
Students enrolled in the DNP program may be dual enrolled in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. The MBA program in the McAfee School of Business Administration at Union University is a 48 credit hour program that is offered in a traditional classroom setting one night per week on the Jackson and Germantown Campuses. Twelve credit hours from the DNP program apply towards the 48 credit hour MBA program.
The ability to serve as an executive leader within the hospital or academic setting requires a breadth of knowledge and skills that encompasses several disciplines. To prepare future nursing leaders for these high profile positions within hospitals or academic institutions, this track offers the nurse the opportunity to serve along side leaders of healthcare or academic institutions in gaining the knowledge, skills, and wisdom needed to lead healthcare institutions in the future. The student will strengthen their understanding of the profession of nursing while gaining business principles to support the future leadership role.
Application deadline of April 10 is noted for priority acceptance into this track that begins in the fall of each year. Applications are accepted for fall enrollment until class is full. Contact the Nursing Admissions Coordinator, at 731.661.6545 for enrollment information.
