HMS-HBS Joint Degree Program: Admission

A pplicants interested in the MD/MBA Program apply to HBS and HMS separately and are selected independently. When applying, students must identify their interest in the joint degree program.

While each school will maintain its separate admissions timetables, all applicants interested in the joint degree program are required to apply to HBS in the first two of three rounds. All applicants interested in the joint degree program are required to apply to HMS by the November deadline.

Students currently enrolled in the HMS MD Program can apply to HBS only during their second year at HMS and only in the first of three rounds of HBS admissions. HMS students will be considered for the joint MD/MBA Program only if they have completed the Health Management Seminar and the Summer Internship in Business Management. Once a student has been admitted to and enrolled in the joint MD/MBA program, the student must complete both degrees successfully in order to achieve graduation from Harvard.
