Cook College students may participate in several universitywide programs that provide the opportunity to begin advanced degree work while completing a bachelor`s degree.
Joint Bachelor/Medical Degree Program
Offered through the Division of Life Sciences in collab- oration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, this
eight-year articulated program allows specially selected students to begin medical school courses in their junior year, while completing undergraduate courses and degrees. Students are selected for this program at the conclusion of their fourth term at Rutgers and are granted provisional admission into the medical school, with a second review of the student`s credentials during the fourth year of the program. Students maintain affiliation with the undergraduate college until the bachelor`s degree requirements are completed.
The program and procedures for admission are outlined in the Division of Life Sciences section of the Programs of Study for Liberal Arts Students. The program is, however, not limited to students majoring in biological sciences.
