The Pre-Medical Post-Baccalaureate Program is committed to identifying self-motivated students who have the compassion, commitment, and potential to become excellent medical or dental school applicants. The program is geared for career changers who have a bachelor’s degree outside of the hard sciences and have taken few, if any, of the courses listed below. Our post-baccalaureate program gives students an opportunity to demonstrate that they are prepared for the academic rigor of health professional school. If you are interested in helping improve the lives of others through medicine or dentistry, we invite you to apply.
