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 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.*
• Full-time Cohort:
  Our Pre-Medical Accelerated program is a 12-month, full-time cohort program consisting of 36-credit hours over three semesters. 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.

*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.
