Pre-Medical Accelerated Curriculum

The Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Accelerated graduate certificate program at Agnes Scott College is a selective, cohort-based program designed for the student who has excelled in past academic programs and is preparing to apply to medical, dental or veterinary school.

Our Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Accelerated program provides students with a strong foundation in the necessary science classes, as well as guidance through the competitive medical school application and selection process. Here are just a few of the valuable aspect of this program:

• MCAT Test Prep Included:
  This program includes a complementary, cohort-exclusive MCAT prep course that starts after fall semester and throughout the spring semester, offered by either BluePrint or the Princeton Review.* Students are eligible to select between these programs offered, and can opt for a DAT prep or GRE prep course instead if they are interested in dental or veterinary school.
  
  *Certain requirements to complete 75% of the test prep course apply to students who opt-in to participating. See the Graduate Catalog for details. 
• Full-time Cohort:
  Our Pre-Medical Accelerated program is a 12-month, full-time cohort program consisting of 36-credit hours over three semesters (June-May). Students begin in the summer semester and attend classes in-person, full-time during the day.
• Applied Experience:
  Students have the opportunity to participate in a physician-designed signature course series to enhance your competitive profile, including courses in Professional Success in Medicine and Health, along with a clinical practicum. You’ll develop your clinical skills and complete a community service project or volunteer experience in an Atlanta hospital, clinic or nonprofit.
