This combined degree completion pathway is intended for individuals who are in the process of earning a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree at Lincoln Memorial University. The objective of the MBA portion of the pathway is to stress the student’s role as manager and leader, while providing a foundational knowledge in business to complement the corresponding professional degree.
The MBA portion of the pathway begins during the fall term of OTD students’ Year 1. OTD/MBA students will follow a cohort model, and will complete one or two prescribed online MBA courses in conjunction with their OTD coursework. OTD/MBA students will complete the General MBA curriculum.
The OTD/MBA combined degree pathway does not allow for any double-counted credit hours. LMU limits eligibility for this pathway to exceptional students who meet the enrollment criteria. Students are still required to meet the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for each program, so the quality and integrity of both programs are not jeopardized.
- Note: This combined degree completion pathway is available to students enrolled in the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program at the LMU-Knoxville instructional site (Knoxville, TN).
