Dual Degree
ROI Calculator

JD/MBA, MD/MBA, MPH/MBA — concurrent dual programs compress two degrees into 1–2 fewer years than doing them sequentially, at $40–80K of incremental cost over the primary degree alone. This calculator models three paths — primary degree only, concurrent dual, and sequential (one then the other) — and shows the NPV, break-even year, and time-cost tradeoff of each.
