Program Description
The Postbaccalaureate Pre-Professional Program (P4) is designed for individuals seeking to complete their basic science requirements in preparation for entrance to medical and other health-professional schools.
We offer educational and professional development in the health professions, for academically competitive individuals with non-science undergraduate and graduate degrees—all within a supportive, collaborative and welcoming environment. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn a certificate in Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Health Studies.
Curriculum: 38 credits
Once accepted, students take classes and testing preparation courses (MCAT) and also participate in academic and professional development opportunities with other P4 students. 1-year (accelerated) and 2-year tracks are available for P4 students. 38 credits required.
