PhD or Joint Degree?
Should you consider studying toward a second degree in conjunction with a Ph.D., like an M.D., D.V.M., etc.? Now that you’ve made the decision to get a graduate degree, you might want to consider combining it with a professional degree, or vice versa. The benefits are obvious: it gives you more options for your career. While earning a Ph.D. usually requires four to six years, getting a combined degree takes a little longer, depending on the program and degree. Here are some sites with information you may find useful as you consider whether to get an M.D./Ph.D. or other joint degree.* The M.D./Ph.D. Careers, including:
