The curriculum and courses that a student takes while attending one of the three consortium universities have been carefully selected and approved by the medical school. The students in the combined degree program are typically the first students to register during the semester and receive top priority for course scheduling. Students have direct involvement with the medical school during their undergraduate years. The University of Akron , Kent State University and Youngstown State University are on a 15-week semester calendar and grade on a 4.0 scale. Social science and humanities requirements and electives are taken in addition to the above course work.
All curriculum is under active review and is subject to change.
Program Requirements Top of Page Students admitted to the combined program enter college knowing that by meeting promotion requirements, they have a seat reserved at the medical school. Because admission to medical school across the country is highly competitive, admission directly from high school can relieve a great deal of stress. By the end of C1, a student must have a science and mathematics grade-point average of at least 2.9. By the end of C2, the science and mathematics grade-point average must be at least 3.0. Students who do not meet the minimum science and math grade-point average requirement have their situations reviewed individually, and an additional year at the consortium university or dismissal from the program could result.
