The Doctor of Medicine/Master of Business Administration dual degree program is a collaboration between The University of Texas McGovern Medical School and the University of Houston-Clear Lake College of Business. Shared credit hours, summer coursework,and MBA online class availability permits McGovern Medical School students the necessary flexibility to complete the dual MD/MBA in 4 to 5 years. Physicians with MBA degrees are well prepared, and highly sought, for leadership roles in the ever-changing business of delivering effective, efficient and affordable healthcare.

The MD and MBA degree programs are independently accredited and approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The integrated dual degree program satisfies the independent requirements of both the MD and MBA. Through sharing of registrar’s records, acceptance to the UHCL program is granted to UT McGovern medical students without having to process additional documentation.

Physicians with MBA degrees are well suited to assume leadership roles in hospitals, group practices, the insurance industry, accountable care organizations, and academic health organizations.

�e dual degree program provides an avenue for students to enroll in both degree programs so that academic interaction is more efficient, and the time and costs incurred are reduced compared to earning the degrees independently.Useful linkshttps://www.uhcl.edu/academics/degrees/business-administration-mbahttps://med.uth.edu/dualdegreeprograms/mdmba/
