McGovern Medical School and Rice University offer a dual degree pathway program leading to an MD degree and a Master of Bioengineering (MBE). The requirements established for the program meet the general requirements of both degrees. The curricula are integrated along a five-year path to support student career objectives.

Students must meet the admission requirements of both schools to qualify for the MD/MBE program. Applicants will submit applications to McGovern Medical School through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (“TMDSAS”) and Rice University independently according to the admission criteria, schedules and policies of each school. Rice’s Application process and admission standards can be found in the General Announcements.
