PGCert in Health/Medical Preparatory Programs

This post-baccalaureate program is an academic bridge for people with a bachelor's degree who plan graduate study in the health sciences. It offers all prerequisite coursework plus upper-level experiences that support entry to medical, dental, physician assistant and other graduate health programs. Students build a personalized course plan with faculty advisors, in small classes taught by experienced medical practitioners. It suits career changers who need most prerequisites and career enhancers who want a stronger academic record before applying. The program leads to the Bachelor of Medical Science degree, which is offered nowhere else in the country. A minimum of 34 credit hours must be taken on campus. Clinical preceptorships allow shadowing in urban settings, and students can present research at local symposia.
