The bachelor's degree/M.D. program, offered jointly by Rutgers
College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New
Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, permits selected students to
obtain a bachelor's degree and a medical degree in eight years of
study. Students are selected for this program at the conclusion of
their sophomore year 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 required to qualify for formal
admission to the medical school. In the junior year, students begin to
take medical science courses along with courses in fulfillment of their
undergraduate degree. The bachelor's degree normally is awarded by the
end of the fifth year, and the medical degree by the end of the eighth
year. For more information, contact the health professions office,
