Master of Business Administration / Master of Science in Nursing Administration

This program is run jointly with the University of Maryland-Baltimore, in which qualifying students can earn an M.S. in Nursing Administration from UMB and an MBA from FSU. Those awarded the degree must complete the M.S. Nursing Administration program in accordance to the UMB catalog, and complete the following 30 credit hours in the FSU MBA program.

Nursing administration courses will be offered by UMB at its sites for distance education in western Maryland, while MBA courses will be taught at the Frostburg and Hagerstown sites. Individuals who meet the entrance requirements for the UMB program are automatically accepted into the FSU MBA porgam, and therefore DO NOT have to take the GMAT.
