This combined degree completion pathway is intended for individuals who are in the process of earning a Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree at Lincoln Memorial University. The objective of the MBA portion of the pathway is to stress the student’s role as manager and leader, while providing a foundational knowledge in business to complement the corresponding professional degree.
The MBA portion of the pathway begins with a summer session of two (2) three (3) credit hour core courses. The courses taken within the first summer term are variable. All courses are offered in an online format. Students will then take an additional two (2) core courses within their second summer semester. The remaining six (6) courses are completed during Years 3 and 4 of the professional program. DMD/MBA students will complete the General MBA curriculum.
The DMD/MBA combined degree pathway does not allow for any double-counted credit hours. LMU limits eligibility for this pathway to exceptional students who meet the enrollment criteria. Students are still required to meet the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for each program, so the quality and integrity of both programs are not jeopardized.
Note: Admission to this combined degree completion pathway is currently paused. Enrollment will resume once full accreditation is obtained from the respective professional program's accrediting body.
Required Courses:
Complete six (6) credit hours of MBA elective courses.
