The B.A.-M.D. program is an eight-year combined bachelor’s/M.D. program that allows students to be accepted into both college and medical school directly from high school. Students complete four years of undergraduate studies at Brooklyn College, followed by four years of medical studies.
For over 40 years, our program has selected students who are not only academically exceptional but passionate about a variety of subjects, from science and the arts to sports, music, student government, and community service. We take pride in affording our students the freedom to choose any major and actively encourage students to explore humanities or social sciences as they complete their bachelor’s degree.
While this program is a part of the Honors Academy at Brooklyn College, B.A.-M.D. students are fully integrated into the college community, taking classes alongside the general student body and engaging in a broad range of campus activities. Those who successfully complete our honors undergraduate premedical curriculum earn a baccalaureate degree (B.A. or B.S., depending on their major) from Brooklyn College. Additionally, every student accepted into the B.A.-M.D. Program is eligible for a Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship, covering four years of undergraduate study.
The application process is open now through December 16, 2024.
High school seniors currently attending high school in the United States and are either permanent residents or U.S. citizens are eligible to apply. High school graduates and transfers from other colleges are not eligible.
The program accepts up to 15 applicants each year.
The program seeks academically strong students with a wide range of interests. Academic strength criteria include high school GPA, AP courses completed or in progress, Regents scores, etc. Applicants should also submit a well-organized résumé that captures a diverse breadth of interests.
