Dual Degree Programs

During the Growth Year, a nine-month Innovation, Leadership and Discovery block, students have the opportunity to individualize experiences toward long-term goals by choosing to pursue one of several dual degree programs. All dual degree programs should be accomplished within the third year of medical school.

In dual degree programs, the degrees are awarded simultaneously with the Doctor of Medicine degree. To enter a dual degree program, the student must be accepted by both of the individual programs. Dual degree programs are offered in the following fields.

Major(s)	Degree(s)
Biomedical engineering	Master of Science in Engineering
Business administration	Master of Business Administration
Design	Master of Arts
Educational psychology	Master of Education
Humanities, health, and medicine	Master of Arts
Information technology and management	Master of Science in Information Technology and Management

Dual Degree Programs with Other Institutions

The dual degree programs listed above lead to two University degrees; in other programs, students pursue degrees from the University and from another school at the same time.

Graduate handbook information is updated and maintained by each program. Graduate handbooks are available within each program's office and online at https://utexas.box.com/v/UTAustinGraduateHandbooks. Please contact the program with concerns or questions.
