Medical Sciences Online Accelerated Curriculum
The Master of Science in Medical Sciences Online Accelerated program is a full-time, 100% online program completed in 12-months. Through fully online, asynchronous instruction, this program starts in the summer and offers 34 credit hours of study in graduate level science courses. Students in this program will complete a physician-designed signature course to develop a student's clinical skills and will have the chance to participate in an intensive MCAT or other test preparation course at no additional cost for those who fully complete the course. You will choose between Blueprint and Princeton review to complete your MCAT test prep course, or another test prep course for the health professions depending on the offerings of the partner.**

**Agnes Scott College does not endorse a particular test preparation company; however, we have established partnerships with The Princeton Review and Blueprint in an effort to provide services to students at no cost to the student if the course is completed. Students enrolled in one of the participating post-bacc or medical sciences master's programs have the discretion to utilize these no-cost options or select and pay for another test preparation company of their choosing. Students who opt-in to take one of the test prep courses offered by Agnes Scott must complete the course to realize the "no-cost" benefit.
