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 who are currently enrolled in the first or second year of the HMS MD Program will be considered for the joint MD/MBA Program only if they have completed the additional course and summer internship requirements on a "current" basis and according to the timetable prescribed for students already admitted to the joint program. 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.
