It is an integrated educational program which is designed to achieve a combination of the two programs in a way that is complementary to both while protecting the integrity of each separate program.

In the third year, they register for one semester in each school, and complete both programs by the end of that year. Some students pursue other schedules of attending courses at the two schools.
