At Agnes Scott we know that changing careers and preparing for medical school can seem challenging. That’s why we designed our Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Accelerated program to ensure you have the necessary advising support and academic training to successfully enter the next stage of your education.
Our 12-month, in-person, accelerated program offers you comprehensive studies in pre-medical laboratory sciences taught by our award-winning faculty:
*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.
Does a small cohort model really make a difference, especially to a high-achieving career-changer like you? Students who experience our Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Accelerated program credit our small cohort model for enhancing their academic experience at Agnes Scott. You’ll develop a strong network of supportive peers as you strengthen your teamwork skills. Our small post-baccalaureate program classes are taught by caring, dedicated and experienced faculty, ensuring you’ll receive personalized attention and mentoring guidance.
“I truly believe that anyone can be successful in this program, whether you’re straight out of undergrad or, like me, a career-switcher with three kids! It takes dedication and drive, but this program will provide you with the tools and the guidance to achieve more than you may have ever thought possible.” -Eva Cimaglia, Post-Bacc Pre-Med Accelerated student, class of 2023
