MD/PhD Collaborative Program
Program Description
Earn Two Graduate Degrees Concurrently
UB allows students to complete the requirements for two graduate degrees simultaneously in some areas. This leads to a reduction in the time to degree as well as an opportunity to integrate coursework. An example of these dual degrees includes The School of Medicine's Medical Scientist Training Program which provides highly talented students with an opportunity to combine intensive scientific training with medical school experience, allowing students to concurrently earn an MD degree and a PhD.
Another opportunity exists in the Master of Public Health program, which has cooperative arrangements with UB's Law School (JD) and Medical School (MD) programs, so that in addition to earning an MPH, students can also receive a degree in law or medicine.
