Tufts MBA Requirements

Can you provide me the admission requirement for MBS/MBA Program offered by Tufts University School of Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences?

[Kiran Chandar]

The MBS/MBA program provides opportunity to take advantage of the Tufts/Brandeis collaboration to earn concurrent master’s degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Business Administration.

It provides a comprehensive foundation for a wide variety of health careers, including medical practice, healthcare organizational leadership, hospital management, and pharmaceutical work.

One undergoes a broad-based program in the biomedical sciences with professional study in health sector management and administration.

By the end of the program, one acquires business skills which make them competitive in either the job market or medical school.
