Prospective students interested in the MBA/MA in International Relations dual degree with the School of Advanced International Studies have two pathways for applying. 

Option 1:  Apply to both programs as an incoming student 

You may apply to both the MBA at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and the MA in International Relations (MAIR) at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) during the same admissions cycle. 

Be sure to review each school's application and enrollment deadlines to ensure your timing aligns. You can find these dates here: MBA application deadlines and MAIR application deadlines.  

• If applying for early notification for the MAIR, you should apply by round 1 for the MBA.
• If applying for regular decision for the MAIR, you should apply by round 2 for the MBA.

If you are admitted to both programs, you’ll work closely with academic advisors from both schools to customize your course sequence, choosing the order that best aligns with your career goals and maximizes opportunities across both programs.

Option 2: Apply to the MBA after enrolling in the MAIR

If you are already enrolled in the MAIR, you may apply to the MBA during your first year. This pathway allows you to add the MBA to your MAIR studies after beginning your graduate program and expand your academic and professional focus through both schools.

Regardless of the pathway you choose, you must submit separate applications to each school and meet the individual admissions requirements. Please review the application instructions for both the Accelerated MBA and the MA in International Relations.

Students interested in the MD/MBA dual degree program must first apply to the MD program at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (SOM). There are two pathways to the dual degree program:  

Option 1: Apply during MD admissions

On the JHU SOM secondary application, you’ll be asked if you’re interested in the MD/MBA dual degree. This indication is non-binding and does not affect your medical school admission decision.

If admitted to the MD program and you’ve expressed interest in the MBA, your materials will be shared with Carey Business School for review. Carey guarantees admission to students accepted into the MD program who express interest in the dual degree.

Students admitted to both programs will decide whether to pursue the MBA between years 2–3 or years 3–4 of the MD program. Admission to the MBA will be deferred to the appropriate start term.

Option 2: Apply as a current MD student

If you decide to pursue the dual degree after beginning the MD program, you can apply during year 2 or 3. Students in this situation can complete the MBA between years 2–3 or 3–4 of the MD program.

To begin, notify your SOM advisor, who will then refer you to Carey to complete the MBA application. Carey’s MBA Admissions Committee will review your materials for admission.

To apply to the MD program, visit the School of Medicine's Application Process Overview page.
