Consider pursuing a Master of Business Administration while you’re enrolled at UMass Chan. Our dual-degree MBA program, developed in conjunction with UMass Lowell, allows students in the T.H. Chan School of Medicine, the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing to complete an MBA while earning a degree at UMass Chan. UMass Lowell’s Manning School of Business offers MBA tracks in finance, managerial leadership, information technology and health care, taught by faculty like Denise Dunlap, PhD, an award-winning expert in entrepreneurship and innovation.
Dr. Dunlap’s research examines the importance of developing incremental and breakthrough innovations in the global pharmaceutical industry and the different types of professional guilds that exist among scientists and pharmaceutical industry managers. In 2019 when the UMass Chan-UMass Lowell dual-degree MBA program began, Dr. Dunlap and David Gilchrist, MD, MBA, an assistant professor of family medicine and community health, shared their thoughts about the value of an MBA for practicing health care providers and scientists.

Student testimonials
-
“When you graduate medical school, you are able to take on residency with two graduate degrees
that have equipped you with the knowledge you need for an array of different future positions in health care.”
Kayla Loycano, MD/MBA student -
“I envision a career that not only allows me to practice as a physician but also leverages my MBA to influence broader changes in health care.
The dual program through UMass Chan provides a lot of flexibility which makes it very feasible to concurrently pursue both degrees.”
Hanna Englander, MD/MBA student -
“I think any student who has some interest in business, even if they do not know
where exactly it will fit into their medical career, would make a great candidate for this program.”
