Combined BA/MD Degree Program
 

Student Services & Curriculum

BA/MD students pursue one of three degree options for their undergraduate degree, all of which emphasize science and liberal arts coursework.

Included in the customized curriculum will be five integrated health seminars and participation in a summer community health project (Summer Practicum) in a New Mexico rural or medically-underserved community.

To help with students' undergraduate success and to better prepare them for their medical studies at the UNM School of Medicine, the following support services are provided:

  • Personalized academic advisement
  • Individualized tutoring and group supplemental instruction
  • Supplemental scholarship and financial aid package
  • MCAT preparatory course
