School of Philosophy

Joint Programs

M.D./M.A.

The M.D./M.A. dual-degree program enables Georgetown University medical students to take the third year off from medical studies to pursue a degree in philosophy either at Georgetown University or at The Catholic University of America.

The M.A. degree requirements can be completed in a calendar year. A student enrolled in either university can take classes at the other through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area.

A separate application for admission to either of the philosophy programs is required. It is also possible to continue studies towards a Ph.D. All those admitted to degree programs at Catholic University in philosophy are considered for all relevant university scholarships and fellowships.
