Are you interested in a BS/MD program? You can find great opportunities in the Northeast to help you earn a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Medicine degree simultaneously. These programs usually extend to eight years, where you have to spend four years completing the undergraduate degree and four years for medical school. Or in other cases, you may have to spend seven years with 3 for an undergraduate degree and 4 for medical school. 

Instead of going through the hassle of completing both degrees separately, you can choose BS/MD programs at Northeast Universities. Many students wish to enroll in the BS/MD program, making it one of the most sought-after programs in Northeastern Colleges.
