The way i understand it, it's a 4 year program. the way Emory does it is you do 2 years with the DPT, then you do a one year MBA offered through their business school and hten your fourth year is finishing the 3rd year in the DPT program. They are not taken concurrently. Also, just because you get into UM DPT does not guarantee your spot in a dual degree program. At Emory, you can apply while applying for hte DPT program or during your first/second year in the DPT program. However, it is a separate application so getting into the MBA part of hte dual degree is not guaranteed
