Drexel’s B.A./B.S./M.D. program offers motivated, mature high school students the chance to earn a combined bachelor’s and doctor of medicine degree in only seven years—three years of undergraduate study followed by four years of medical school. Though pre-med students typically major in engineering or biology, the program is open to all majors.

Drexel offers the same opportunities to its B.A./B.S./M.D. students as it offers to its other undergraduate and medical students. B.A./B.S./M.D. students enrolled in the College of Engineering will still participate in Drexel’s world-renowned engineering curriculum, or tDEC. And with advanced planning, students can also take advantage of Drexel’s outstanding research and co-op opportunities that students at other universities can only dream about.

Aware that the B.A./B.S./M.D program is demanding, Drexel’s Office of Enrollment Management suggests that students applying for the dual degree program should exhibit maturity, stability, scholarship, flexibility, compassion, curiosity, and a record of service to others. The program is also highly competitive, with only eight students accepted each year.

1st of the student’s senior year. Questions about the undergraduate

Drexel also offers an Early Assurance Program for students who might not have been ready to commit to pursuing a career in medicine while still in high school. This program grants pre-admission to Drexel’s College of Medicine to twelve students who have completed one year of undergraduate coursework at Drexel University.
