MD/MBA Dual Degree Program

The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the School of Management offer a five-year (10 semesters) program leading to a MD/MBA degree.
 
Students apply separately to both Schools. Applications do not have to be submitted concurrently. 

If completed as a combined program: 

  • 30 hours— MBA core courses
  • 15 hours— MBA electives**
  • xx hours— Total Medicine – dependent on specific curriculum

** In the stand-alone MBA program 30 credits of MBA electives are required for a total of 60 credits. However, students in the dual program are allowed a 5 course reduction in light of simultaneously working on the medical degree. 

Students in this MD/MBA program will participate in a cohort or learning community with a group of full-time MBA students. Therefore, core courses will not be waived.
