Dual Degree Programs
Baylor College of Medicine offers the following dual degree programs:
M.D./J.D. Program
The University of Houston Law Center, in conjunction with Baylor College of Medicine, offers students the opportunity to obtain both a law degree and a medical doctorate degree. A student earns both degrees in six years of full-time study, one year less than it would take to complete the degrees separately. This extraordinary educational program highlights the relationship between law and medicine and provides students an important enrichment in their interdisciplinary studies. Students in this program attend their first, second, and fifth years of study at Baylor College of Medicine, begin their law school curriculum during their third and fourth years, and complete both degrees in their sixth year.
