The Dual Degree MBA Program for LMU-DCOM students is comprised of 30 semester hours of coursework. Twelve credit hours of MBA coursework will be complete during the DO/MBA candidate's first summer within the MBA program. The remaining credit hours can be completed during the student's summers and third and fourth rotation years. The program has been designed to provide the student with excellent career options and practice management and administration skills at the same time they are preparing to become a well-trained osteopathic physician. Completion of the professional MBA degree at the time of pursuing the DO Degree should prepare the dual degree graduate with the knowledge and skills to assume a leadership role more quickly in clinical practice in an outpatient or hospital setting.
