    Second degree options

    Enhance your education with a second degree

    Depending on your interests and long-term career goals, you may find it beneficial to pursue a second degree while you earn your M.D. at UMHS. We believe that earning two advanced degrees can help enhance your credentials and make you a more desirable residency candidate in today’s competitive marketplace.

    UMHS has established partnerships with two accredited universities that each offer unique benefits and concurrent enrollment opportunities to qualified UMHS students.
