Students begin coursework in summer as part of a cohort, completing the program the following May.
The global pandemic spotlights how health professionals are key to addressing the intellectual and social challenges of our time. In addition to the rigorous advanced study of biomedical sciences, our medical sciences accelerated students also gain an understanding of health disparities and the ethical issues that arise during medical research and patient care.
Our accelerated 12-month, cohort-based, in-person graduate program in Medical Sciences features an advanced medical sciences curriculum, a comprehensive test preparation course, and physician-designed signature courses focused on professional success. You'll benefit from:
Our graduate medical sciences students work with a team of health professions advisors who are experienced in providing you with the necessary support through intentional academic advising, personal statement and/or resume development and guidance through the application process for the health professions program of your choice.
Students who successfully complete our medical sciences program in good standing will also receive personalized, detailed committee letters for their health professions application. Each committee letter is tailored to your specific application needs for each institution where you are applying. This service is available to you for one year after program completion.
Agnes Scott College and Morehouse School of Medicine are partners with a linkage agreement for Medical Sciences master’s students who meet specific criteria. Eligible students enrolled full-time in this master's program are invited to apply for this linkage to the MD degree at the Morehouse University School of Medicine.
Students in this program will complete an MCAT (GRE, DAT, or related) test preparation course based on the health profession they plan to pursue. Offered through Princeton Review, students will complete the MCAT course together during their program and at no additional cost.
Agnes Scott's qualified pre-medical students boast an acceptance rate of close to 90% into the health professions school of their choice.*
