Doctor of Medicine

The School of Medicine began with a four year, discipline-based Doctor of Medicine (MD) program and expanded to include a three-year premedical program to accommodate students from systems of education around the world.

The majority of MD students enter with a baccalaureate degree, required premedical sciences, and scores from the Medical College Admission Test, (MCAT) directly into the medical sciences program. These students generally complete the requirements for the MD degree after four calendar years of successful academic progress.

Students from other systems of education generally enter one of the premedical sciences program years, depending upon their academic qualifications. Some premedical students who do not hold a first degree and wish to obtain a bachelor degree may be eligible to do so. Evaluation of prior educational background will determine eligibility and appropriate placement within the BS/MD program.
