The M.D./M.B.A. program provides an opportunity to earn a dual degree through an integrated curriculum. Successful completion of the dual degree program leads to the awarding of two degrees. The Doctor of Medicine is awarded by the College of Medicine and Life Sciences and the M.B.A. is awarded by the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation. Students enrolled in the dual degree program will not receive the M.D. or M.B.A. degree until all work required for both degrees have been completed. The M.B.A. degree requires a minimum of 33 credit hours at the 6000-level. Up to an additional 9 credit hours may be required if a student does not have an academic background in business. The Neff College of Business and Innovation will allow up to 9 credit hours of approved M.D. coursework to be credited toward the M.B.A. degree.

Students applying for the M.D./M.B.A. program must have earned a bachelor's degree. A student must apply and be admitted to the College of Medicine and Life Sciences and the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation separately to be admitted to the M.D./M.B.A dual degree program. 

Admission to one program does not guarantee admission to the other program. Refer to the College of Medicine and M.B.A. sections of this catalog for specific admission standards for each program. Applications for admission to the M.D. program are accepted for fall entry only.
