Are there possibilities for earning a joint degree?
Yes, in addition to the School of Medicine there are two other schools on campus that grant advanced degrees. Students can earn an MD/MPH degree by combining medical school with the MPH program offered by the School of Health Sciences and Practice . With careful planning this can be completed in four years. Through the Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences students can earn a PhD along with their MD degree. It generally takes six to seven years to complete the MD/PhD degree. Application to either program is submitted after acceptance into the medical school program.
