Brandeis University Post-Bac Program
Welcome to the Brandeis University Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program website. We hope that you use this site to discover the possibilities that are available to you through the Program and Brandeis University.
The Brandeis University Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program is designed to allow college graduates who are interested in a career in medicine to take necessary science courses needed in order to apply to medical school. The small, intensive program of no more than fifteen students provides students with individualized academic and career advising in a supportive environment. The curriculum also supports students interested in applying to related health fields such as Dental, Veterinary, Optometry, Osteopathic Medical or Podiatric programs.
The program is not designed for students who have completed their pre-requisite coursework. It is intended for those who have not taken the courses required for admission to medical and other health professional schools. It is not designed for students who wish to repeat or supplement prior science coursework. A background in math and some volunteer experience in the medical field is recommended. Students may attend on a full or part-time basis during the summer and academic year. The program may be started in June or August.
The program prepares students exceptionally well for medical school. The average Brandeis premedical student scores approximately three points higher than the national average on the science portion of the MCAT.
A linkage program with the George Washington University School of Medicine is available to competitive post-baccalaureate students that reduces the time and stress of applying at large to medical schools.
