University of Mary Dual MBA/MA in Philosophy, 36 cr Total

[MFG]

What is the intent of the dual degree? Philosophy businesses? Most people dont get more than one masters, and if they get one with an MBA it is typically in something more commercializable like engineering or computer science.

I think the intent of the dual degree in philosophy and MBA is to combine the analytical and critical thinking skills of philosophy with the practical and managerial skills of business. Though I am not sure who's going to get it.

I’m sure people will be interested, I’ve seen all sort of random degree paths suggested here that people do.

This. BTW...Paging Thales.

Those who take Bachelor's in Philosophy often add 2-3 majors (look at me) in business and other applied or affairs fields.

In UK 'PPE' tracks are common--Philosophy, Political Affairs, Economics.

Hope this helps.

Just wondering anyone who had done a graduate degree at the University of Mary? Do online students have the opportunity to do any courses at the Rome Campus? (Maymester or otherwise?)

It depends on the Program. Talk with an advisor.

If one wants to do Rome courses as additional courses, I expect they would be fine with that.

There seems nothing like that in the MA/MBA program, at least that would be covered by FAFGSA, but call and check.

This program is for someone who truly values learning and school for its own sake. The MBA made check a box, but the MAin Philosophy will scratch an itch that a perspective student may have had to study this topic deeper. In fact, looking at the curriculum, this program may be for someone who needs an MBA for their job, but really wants to study philosophy.

As you've probably noticed from being on this form and the sister form, there are surprising number of people that seem to enjoy going to school just because they like school. I must admit that I'm one of them. I'd never heard of the school before, but I am giving it some consideration.
