The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine has recognized this vital demand by partnering with the College of Business at Florida Atlantic University to offer two joint degree programs: a master of business administration (MD/MBA) and a master of health administration (MD/MHA). Tuition for the MBA and MHA components of the joint degree programs is based on an hourly credit rate set by the College of Business and does not differ based on Florida residency status. For more information about the joint degree program, please contact the Schmidt College of Medicine’s Office of Student Affairs at [email protected] or call 561.297.2097. MD students who have been accepted or currently matriculated in the Schmidt College of Medicine will be offered conditional admission to the joint MD/MBA or MD/MHA program, provided they maintain the required program standards for the MD program and follow the application process listed below. The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) will be waived for medical students applying to a joint program. APPLICATION PROCESS First-year medical students may start the application process at the end of the first semester of medical school. Second, third and fourth-year medical students are encouraged to start the application process at least four weeks prior to the semester in which they would like to take business classes. Students must schedule a meeting with one of the College of Medicine’s Student Affairs Deans. Medical Students will review their potential pathways and receive approval to apply from the Office of Student Affairs. The Office of Student Affairs will complete and send an approval form to the College of Business’ Admissions Coordinator to begin the official MBA or MHA application process. Students must submit the College of Business Admissions MD/MBA or MD/MHA Review Sheet, a letter of intent, and their CV to the College of Business. The College of Business will review the application packet and secure approvals from the College of Medicine’s Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions and the College of Business’ Associate Dean for Student Services & International Programs. Students can then begin the registration process with the Admissions Coordinator and begin taking classes. Their schedule will be determined on an individual basis with the Student Affairs Deans. It will be based on their medical school performance and progress. ADMISSIONS MD/MBA For the joint MD/MBA, the College of Business classifies the MD portion as a concentration within the MBA program. Students entering the MBA program without the Finance and Accounting prerequisites must earn 36 credits. Prerequisites may be waived for students who earned an undergraduate business degree with a previous grade of “B” or better in the following courses: • ACG 6027 Financial Accounting Concepts • FIN 6406 Corporate Financial Management MD/MHA For the joint MD/MHA, The Office of Student Affairs and Admissions at the Schmidt College of Medicine will assist with the admission process by coordinating with the Office of Executive Programs in the College of Business. There are no prerequisites for the MHA program. SCHMIDT COLLEGE OF MEDICINE | COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
