The University of Michigan School of Education and the Ross School of Business combine to offer a unique dual degree program leading to both the MA and the MBA. This program recognizes that talented individuals possessing business expertise and a thorough understanding of educational policy and practice can effect meaningful improvements in our education system. Graduate work in the MBA program teaches students the technical and financial skills of business management while graduate work in the School of Education adds theoretical grounding in the foundations of education research, policy, and administration.
“This program recognizes there are ways the two schools can work together for the improvement of education,” says former Associate Professor Roger Goddard. “It also serves a need for MBA students who want to work in the field of education, and who have an interest in learning about instructional improvement, the environments in which schools operate, and the ways they are organized and financed.”
This unique, fast-paced program is arranged so that all requirements for both degrees are completed in two and one-half to three years of enrollment. The degrees are awarded simultaneously.
