MBA/MD Dual Degree
The Johns Hopkins dual-degree MBA/MD program is structured as a five year academic program, with students as full-time members of the medical school and the full-time MBA cohort as they progress through the program.
The program is designed to prepare physicians for leadership roles in medicine and in the health care industry. The proposed dual-degree program will give students a unique educational experience through the Genes to Society (GTS) medical school curriculum and Carey’s full-time MBA program. More information is available at https://carey.jhu.edu/programs/dual-degrees/mba-md.
Admission Requirements
Students applying to the MD/MBA program will be required to meet the admissions criteria of the JHU School of Medicine and be admitted to the MD program. Once students are accepted by the School of Medicine, they have an opportunity to apply for the MBA/MD program. The applications will then be reviewed for business school admission by the Carey Admissions team.
Program Requirements
For the Carey MBA program, students are required to complete 54 credits. Up to 18 credits from the MD electives can be applied to program requirements for the MBA electives, subject to review and approval of the MD/MBA Academic Program Committee. For the MBA, students will be required to complete the 26 credits of Foundational courses associated with the full-time MBA, and 10 credits of Carey Business School electives. Dual degree recipients receive both diplomas upon completion of both programs.
Students in the MD/MBA program can complete their MBA coursework in one year. Dual MD/MBA students wanting to earn a specialization will be required to return to Carey Business later in the coursework to complete required specialization courses.
Dual-degree MD/MBA students starting the program Fall 2024 will not be required to complete the Carey full-time MBA Summer Practical Experience. Students should consult the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine for any summer course, internship, or residency requirements.
