Requirements:
Our dual-degree program offers a customized MPH degree through in-person and online coursework at the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health and transferable credit for public health related components from the Long School of Medicine curriculum. Flexibility and customization within the MPH degree allows students to combine with the traditional MD preparation.
How to apply:
Since this is a dual-degree program, you will need to apply first to the UT Health San Antonio Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine (MD), followed by the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health (MPH). You must meet the admissions requirements for each degree as outlined by the specific schools.
Our MD/MPH Program has two tracks for completion, four- and five-year. Please see the below graphic for timelines when you’ll be taking coursework in each of the degrees for both tracks.
