Joint Degree Programs
Joint degree programs allow students to pursue two graduate degrees simultaneously, where the total time for the two degrees is decreased. A student who wishes to enter a joint degree program must be admitted separately to each program as a joint degree candidate. Find out more about joint degree programs at the Graduate College.
The Medical Scholars program is not a joint degree program, but allows students to earn a Ph.D. at the same time they are earning their M.D. degree. More information is listed on individual program pages and on the Medical Scholars program page.
