BACHELOR’S/M.D. ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
The FAU Schmidt College of Medicine offers two programs that allow students to achieve both their B.S. and M.D. degrees in 7-8 years: the Med Direct Program (on the Boca Raton campus) and the Wilkes Medical Scholars Program (on the Jupiter campus).
To qualify for these highly selective programs, applicants must first be admitted to Florida Atlantic as an undergraduate student, then complete the Bachelor's/M.D. Program Application. Once admitted, students will be offered conditional admission* to the Schmidt College of Medicine, provided they maintain the required program standards and complete all program requirements. One of only three such programs in Florida, many National Merit Scholars choose to pursue this route to their medical career.
Students must choose Florida Atlantic University as their first choice school before or on May 1 in order to receive national merit funding, as well as to secure their place in this program.
