MD - MHA Dual Degree
|
|
Return to: Health Administration and Human Resources
The University of Scranton and Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine (GCSOM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to offer a dual degree program in Medicine (MD) and Health Administration (MHA). The Doctor of Medicine and the Master of Health Administration (MD-MHA) is an innovative dual degree program that combines the strengths of two highly-specialized degree programs to train future physicians for roles as healthcare administrators and leaders in the delivery of healthcare services. As healthcare organizations respond to the dynamic changes in healthcare, the dual MD-MHA degree program will integrate leadership and management functions in the medical and clinical environment to meet the demand for delivering the most efficient and highest quality healthcare. The MD degree will be conferred by Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine and the MHA degree by The University of Scranton.
Generally, students will apply first to GCSOM. Accepted CGSOM students will then apply to The University of Scranton. A MHA student may make application to the MD program at GCSOM. MHA students who are admitted to the MD program may be required to develop an alternate MHA program of study.
Preferred Course Sequence:
Financial Aid
Students will apply for financial aid with GCSOM in Years 1, 2, 4, 5. Students will apply for financial aid with The University of Scranton in Year 3. The amount of aid eligibility for year 3 will be different from the other years. The aid awarded in Years 1 and 5 may be insufficient to cover the cost of tuition at the University of Scranton in those years.
