Berkeley Healthcare MBA (MBA/MPH)
Can anybody shed light on what key points differentiate Haas' MBA HSM degree from other top B-school healthcare dual offerings?
Say for example Duke Fuqua's MBA/Health Sector Management degree? If one was to apply for the HSM and adcom asks you, well why not Duke or all the other MBA's that offer a Healthcare specialization, what would one say? Would really appreciate others thoughts on this topic. Regards A.
