Applying for BSMLS - 2nd Degree

Most post-baccalaureate students have satisfied the general education requirements upon admission.

Some may need to complete additional science courses, particularly if the bachelor’s degree is in a non-science discipline.

All prerequisite coursework must be completed before the start of the Clinical Year each Fall Semester.

To enter the Clinical Year Program, all post-baccalaureate students must complete the following pre-clinical fundamental courses at the Berrien Springs campus, the summer prior to the beginning of the Clinical Year.  If equivalent courses were previously taken, these requirements may be waived. Contact the Program Director to request an evaluation of course equivalency.
