Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine/Carey Business School

Curriculum Overview

The curriculum of the M.D./M.B.A. program reflects the requirements and content of two degree programs: the Medical School Genes to Society curriculum and the Johns Hopkins MBA curriculum. Both are innovative new approaches to education in their respective fields.

The typical M.D./M.B.A. candidate is expected to follow the sample schedule, outlined below.

Application Process

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. If the students are accepted by the SOM and express interest in the MBA program, their application will be forwarded to the MBA Admissions Office for review by the business school. Admitted students will receive admission to the School of Medicine and the Business School for the dual-degree program. Applicants must have an MCAT score, but the GMAT is NOT required.

Enrollment Options

This dual degree program has two enrollment options to pursue the MD/MBA

program.

Option 1 - Direct Admissions/Deferment

Students can identify during the application process as interested in the dual degree program. These students would apply to SOM for the Regular MD program and will select the Combined Medical Degree/Graduate Program designation on the AMCAS application and the Dual MD/MBA on the Hopkins secondary application. SOM will first make its own admissions decision based on the applicant for the MD program.

Students admitted to the Regular M.D. program and are interested in the Dual MD/MBA program will then be considered by Carey. Applicants must comply with each of the Party's stated admission requirements for the Program. Applications and supporting documents will be shared between the Parties. SOM will retain the application fee. The admissions committees for each school will make their own independent admissions decision. Decision letters will be sent from each division

Once admitted to the dual program, students will need to decide whether to do the MBA between years 2-3 OR between years 3-4 of the MD program. The student's admission to the MBA will be deferred to the appropriate start term.

Option 2 - Current MD Students

We recognize that some students may not decide to enter the dual degree program until after they have matriculated within the SOM. Students in this situation can still apply to the dual degree program and complete the MBA coursework in between years 2-3 OR 3-4 of the MD.

Students will need to first notify their SOM advisor and will be referred to Carey to complete their application for admissions and will be evaluated for admissions by the Carey MBA admissions committee. Students will need to apply to Carey by the Round 2 deadline of the MBA application process during year 2 or 3 of the MD, which
typically falls on the 3rd or 4th week of January.

MBA Program Enrollment Details

Once admitted to the MBA program, students must participate in Foundations Week, which typically occurs 2 weeks prior to the fall semester of the MBA year.
For the Carey MBA program, students must complete 54 credits for the MBA degree. Carey will accept 18 credits from the MD program; students will need to complete 36 credits of the MBA program at Carey's Harbor East location.

Students can complete all 36 Carey MBA credits in one academic year. Alternatively, students may complete up to 32 Carey MBA credits in one academic year and take the remaining 4 credits in the 3rd or 4th year of the MD program (depending on their enrollment option).

Tuition & Financial Aid

Billing and financial aid assistance will be managed separately by each institution. M.D./M.B.A. students will pay full tuition and fees at the school they are registered each semester. All billing costs charged to the student through Carey Business School must be satisfied before student will receive any financial aid funding through School of Medicine.

Students may apply for financial aid assistance through both schools. However, funding will only be provided through the school for which the student is currently matriculating. Financial aid from one school may not be used to cover costs for the other.
