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 Accelerated 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 Accelerated MBA program. More information is available at https://carey.jhu.edu/programs/dual-degrees/mba-md.
The Accelerated MBA is a STEM designated program. International students in F-1 status who complete this program and obtain post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) may be eligible for the STEM OPT Extension. Students should consult the Office of International Services if they have questions about this benefit.
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
The MBA portion of the MD/MBA requires students to complete 54 Carey Business School credits. This includes 26 credits of full-time MBA Foundational Courses and 10 credits of Carey Business School elective courses. To reach the 54 credits for the MBA, Carey Business School will accept 18 credits of MD coursework. 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, and all required MBA courses must be completed in-person at Carey's Harbor East campus location.
