Be sure to review each school's application and enrollment deadlines to ensure your timing aligns. You can find these dates here: Full-time 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 admitted to both programs, you’ll work closely with academic advisors from both schools to customize your course sequence, choosing the order that fits your career goals and maximizes opportunities.

Option 2: Apply to the second program as a current student  

If you’re already enrolled in the Full-time MBA or the MAIR, you may apply to the other program during your first year. This option allows you to expand your academic and professional focus while benefiting from the strengths of both schools.  

Please note: 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 Full-time 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.
