Prepare to apply for medical and other health professions programs through our Master of Science in Medical Sciences Online Accelerated program.
If you’re planning to apply to medical school or another health professions program, we can help you make the most out of your gap year.
Our 12-month (three-semester), fully online program is designed for students who have successfully completed their medical sciences prerequisites in-person and want to increase their competitive academic profile online.
Offering you the flexibility and convenience of a fully online learning experience, our accelerated M.S. in medical sciences online program begins with the summer semester. It features comprehensive studies in advanced sciences and a valuable test preparation course to enhance your competitiveness for post graduate health professions programs.
Asynchronous online classes explore topics such as advanced anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, immunology, genetics of human disease and biostatistics, among others.
Our Master of Science in Medical Sciences Online Accelerated program features pre-medical studies such as advanced studies in biomedical sciences, in addition an intensive MCAT 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.*
By completing our fully online curriculum and taking advantage of your dedicated health professions advising opportunities, you’ll be a more competitive applicant for medical school or other post-graduate health professions programs.
Work with a team of health professions advisors to develop a health care studies path personalized to help you meet your educational goals.
Qualified students are eligible for a personalized committee letter for your medical school or health professions applications — each letter is tailored to your specific needs. You can take advantage of this service for up to one year from the time you complete the program.
As an added perk, all medical sciences students receive an Interfolio account. Health professions advisors guide you through the process to access your committee letters and application materials in your Interfolio Dossier, which connects directly with the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS).

*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.
Agnes Scott maintains strong relationships with premier health care institutions and hospitals around Atlanta, in addition to the Emory School of Medicine, Mercer School of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine, and more.
