While actively enrolled in the MD program students may not enroll in courses that will be used to fulfill graduation requirements for another degree program.

Policy Elaboration

Additional tuition based on number of credits and the type of course the student chooses will be assessed above and beyond the Larner College of Medicine (LCOM) tuition and associated fees.
