The MSMS Program begins in June, with an intensive 10-week bridge course. The goal of the course is to enhance and reinforce academic skills that are essential for both improved MCAT performance and success in rigorous graduate course work. Approximately 30 hours per week are spent in class, with an emphasis on cooperative learning in small groups. Subject matter includes physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry and biology. Reading, writing, and critical thinking skills are stressed.
Physical conditioning is encouraged.
At least three hours per week of regularly scheduled physical exercise is strongly recommended.
