Curriculum
Our program is designed to fulfill the most common science prerequisites while giving you a foundation in the subjects heavily featured on the MCAT, DAT, and OAT tests. Unlike other nondegree students at 91´«Ã½, you will have a guaranteed seat in the courses offered in the post-baccalaureate curriculum.
To preserve the integrity of the cohort experience, all students are required to complete General Chemistry 1 and 2, including the associated labs, during the summer term. During the fall and spring semesters, students must be enrolled in at least 8 credit hours of the program’s designated courses. All coursework must be completed for a letter grade; pass/fail grading is not permitted.
Please be aware that each professional school sets its own prerequisites. Our program covers the most commonly required core set of prerequisites, but certain schools require additional courses that do not fit into a one-year program. We encourage you to make a list of the prerequisites for your specific professional schools of interest.ÌýIf you are preparing to apply to professional schools that require additional courses, our advisors can help you understand how best to complete those additional courses after the program year ends.Ìý
The Post-Baccalaureate Health Professions curriculum is a full-time commitment; most of our students report spending 40 to 60+ hours per week on their coursework to achieve academic success.
