Overview

The MCG Dual Degree Pathway includes both a period of time in which students enroll in the MD program only and then, after completing two years of MD requirements, enroll in the MD/MBA, MD/MPH, or MD/MCTS Dual Degree Program.

This arrangement allows students to take courses in the MD and MBA/MPH programs concurrently. Students must complete all degree requirements of each program before Augusta University can confer separately these two degrees upon the students.

After reading relevant documents below, by March 15, please complete the form indicating your interest in one of the Dual Degrees. Please note that there is another option for the MBA that we have not been able to add to the program description. A consortium of five universities offers an entirely online MBA (WebMBA) that runs two courses a term for five terms beginning in the fall term or the spring term. There is no tuition relief for this program that will cost you about $25,000 ($5,000 per term). Please email Dr. Fly at cfly@augusta.edu if this option interests you.

Please ignore the deadlines in the documents below and use March 15 for an expression of interest, and April 15 for the application.
