Full timeDuration
24 monthsThe key feature of the Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program at American University is flexibility. Whether you are building the bridge between your undergraduate studies and medical school, or want to make a mid-career shift, we will meet you where you are and provide you with the specific credentials you need to achieve your goals. The curriculum will be tailored to you, allowing you to take the exact classes required to apply to your advanced degree of interest, and skip those that you've already taken, or won't need.
Get access to every course required to apply for medical school. And if you have already completed the fundamental classes, we offer a variety of upper-level biology, chemistry, and neuroscience classes to help you demonstrate your academic potential.
It's not just about med school. The Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program helps students prepare for their chosen career in medicine. Alumni of our program have gone on to attend physician assistant programs, pharmacy school, dental school, and physical therapy programs.
Get one-on-one help along the way. The premedical advisor will guide you in course selection, provide information on clinical and research opportunities, and work closely with you during the application process. And when the time comes to apply for medical or dental school, an AU faculty member of your choice will write your committee letter to be included in your application.
