♦  Overview  ♦  

The Graduate College at USAT consists of a robust academic and research program, and is closely linked to the Colleges of Medicine, with whom common core courses may be shared, thereby making the dual degree Doctorate (MD + PhD or other academic / research doctorate) more cost effective as well as efficiently structured to be more attractive to the working student than is typical of such programs.  The Graduate College incorporates a blended instructional format, with the bulk of the course offerings being live lectures at the Main Campus in addition to the Evening College. All PhD academic programs may be integrated with the Doctor of Medicine thereby maximizing the time and efficiency of study while minimizing the traditional added costs of graduate study for the student.
