Why is the MD/MBA becoming more common?

How would this affect my salary?

MBA: MBA: OR JUST GOOGLE ‘UIC MBA’ OR CALL (312) MPH: OR JUST GOOGLE ‘UIC MPH’ OR CALL (312)

MBA  60% online  Requires GMAT/GRE  LORs* and Transcripts  interview** MPH  100% online  No test needed  LORs* and Transcripts  No interview needed * We all just asked Dr. Chadaga and one of the chiefs. ** I was exempt from the interview.

JOINT MBA/MPH  The joint MBA/MPH allows you to complete 75% of each degree’s courses, and graduate with both degrees  With shared course credit, that number is closer to 65% of each degree

WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT ?  This is NOT like medical school. No school is as difficult or time consuming as med school  A single MBA class takes me about 3-5 hours a week  A single MPH class is about an average of 1-2 hours a week (we take 2 MPH classes at a time, so 3-4 hours total).  Work consists of online quizzes, weekly chat forums (write a paragraph)  “Finals week” you can expect to be working more.

WHAT IF I TRY IT AND DISLIKE IT?  There is no fee or penalty to drop out  If you start a degree, you can return 20 years later and finish  Only courses taken while a UIC employee are free though. Those taken after residency cost standard tuition

COST Tuition: - MBA Tuition Cost: $74,000 - MPH Tuition Cost: $42,000 - Total of $116,000 for tuition alone + Miscellaneous Fees= Over $130,000
