What are the advantages of getting this dual degree? If someone is concentrating in health management, it seems kind of redundant into getting an MBA as well. How about MPH students concentrating in epi, what kind of jobs would combine the MPH and MBA degrees?

Also, kind of a related question, is it possible to concentrate in two different areas within the MPH program, like epi and health management for example?

I believe there are some schools that allow you to double concentrate, but I don't know of them off the top of my head but I think they may end up adding a 3rd year to your education.
I know Emory and Berkeley have MBA/MPH programs and it seems like most of these students are looking to be in device, pharma, or biotech businesses, although some also are consultants, etc.
I am actually also curious about these programs, if anyone who did a dual degree MBA/MPH or dual concentration could provide a description of their experience...
