College of Arts and Sciences
The Pre-Medical Post Baccalaureate Certificate Program is intended for those students who have completed a baccalaureate program, usually in a non-science area, and who now desire to come back to complete their science requirements for medical school. This program is applicable to those preparing for either allopathic (MD) or osteopathic (DO) medical schools. It is also appropriate as preparation for other health careers, e.g. dentistry and physician assistant.
This program is not intended as a remedial program for students who have taken all of the required courses and need to improve their grades.
Rockhurst prides itself on individual attention to each student; hence many factors will go into one’s acceptance into this certificate program.
Dr. Laura Salem will review online applications throughout the year. Students are informed by email shortly after the decisions are made. A phone or on campus interview is required. The prospective student must supply the following before the application can be acted on:
- Completed online application form.
- Official transcripts from all previous colleges, and ACT or SAT scores.
Students who complete this program with satisfactory grades can request a Certificate in Pre-Medical Sciences.
