Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) and the College of Business (COB) cooperatively offer a doctor of medicine/master of business administration (MD/MBA) dual degree program. Students in BSOM may use the school’s cooperative educational experience option to enroll in the master of business administration (MBA) program in the COB, usually between the second and third years of medical school. The MD/MBA dual degree program is also open to medical students who are accepted for, or enrolled in, other accredited medical schools, physicians who are currently in medical residence training programs, and practicing physicians. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) requirement is waived for applicants with MD degrees or students from accredited medical schools.

The MD/MBA degree program is structured for medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. Medical students and residents may complete all MBA coursework in one calendar year by entering in the second session of summer school and finishing in the first session of summer school twelve months later. Practicing physicians and residents who attend part time may enter in any term.
