Post-Bacc Pre-Medical Bridge Curriculum

The Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Bridge graduate certificate program is designed for students who want to strengthen their academic credentials to apply for medical, dental or veterinary school.

Our Post-Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Bridge program provides students with a strong foundation in the core science courses. Students admitted to this program also receive conditional admission to the Medical Sciences Accelerated master's program to provide graduate level coursework that will strengthen their application to the health professions program of their choice.

• MCAT Test Prep Included:
  

  This program includes a complementary, cohort-exclusive MCAT prep course that begins after fall semester and lasts throughout the spring semester, 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 Bridge program offers a 12-month, full-time cohort program consisting of 36-credit hours over three semesters (June-May). Students attend classes in-person, full-time during the day. Following successful completion of the Post-Bacc Bridge, qualified students will begin their master’s degree program. See details about the conditional admission to the Medical Sciences Accelerated master’s program.

*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.
