The MD/PhD program provides training for individuals with strong clinical and basic science interests for research careers in academic medicine.Offered jointly by the Graduate College and the College of Medicine, the dual degree program consists of four years of medical school and a minimum of three years of graduate study (which occurs between the preclinical and clinical curricula) including dissertation research in an area of basic biomedical science leading to a PhD degree.The work must be conducted under the guidance of a funded clinical and/or basic science investigator who is a member of the Graduate Faculty.
Students choose the UK College of Medicine MD/PhD Program to pursue a combined degree because we work hard at providing our students with a nurturing and supportive environment, responding to the students' needs as they progress through this challenging program. In addition, our students can choose from a wide array of outstanding research opportunities available in the six basic science departments and two graduate centers. Finally, we continue to adapt the program to the special requirements of our students. We also encourage the active participation of our students in developing our unique program.

NYU Law has a cadre of full-time faculty who make law and economics a primary focus of their work. Their approaches to economic analysis are diverse: theoretical, quantitative, empirical, and experimental. Several of our faculty are lawyer-economists, and a number of them hold leadership positions in the Society for Empirical Legal Studies and the American Law & Economics Assocation. Some, such as Lewis Kornhauser, have played central roles in the development of Law and Economics as a field.
These coordinated programs reduce the amount of time required to complete both degrees. The School of Law will count 12 credits of GSAS coursework toward the total of 83 credits required for the JD degree, typically allowing dual degree students to complete their JD coursework in five semesters rather than the usual six. Likewise, some law school coursework will count toward the PhD and MA program requirements, allowing students to accelerate the completion of those degrees. For students in the JD/MA program, both degrees are typically conferred at the end of four years (eight semesters) rather than the usual five years to complete both degrees separately. For students in the JD/PhD program, the JD is typically conferred at the end of the fourth year, while the student continues to complete the PhD requirements.
NYU Law has long had a very distinguished program in legal, moral, and political philosophy that has greatly influenced the way law schools across the country teach this complex interdisciplinary field of study.
