Introduction

Seidman College of Business and Kirkhof College of Nursing offer a combined Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN/MBA). Persons wishing this degree must meet the admission requirements of both schools with the exception that satisfactory performance on only the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), rather than the GMAT, is required.
