Making the right choices at the right time is very important, especially when it comes to choosing a degree. Your education can impact the rest of your life. However, it’s never easy to decide what universities you should attend or what program to enroll in, given the many choices available to you. For students targeting the Northwest region of the United States, there are many medical science options. But, for students who wish to complete their Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees, it is recommended to complete  these degrees simultaneously. Thankfully, many Northwest universities offer these programs and make it easier for students to accomplish their academic goals, so you won’t have to worry about looking too far to find a BS/MD program that is right for you.  

If you are interested in these programs, here is a list of NorthWestern schools that offer Doctor of Medicine and Bachelors of Science degrees simultaneously: 

BS/MD Programs In The Northwest  

Students who apply for BS/MD programs have a unique chance  to be accepted into medical school very early on, given they maintain good grades and have solid test scores. It is important to know, though, that these programs are highly competitive, and few students are accepted, a strong reason why the  class size is much smaller than other programs and also guarantees exclusive attention to students. Interested in learning more? Here is a list of all the Northern colleges that offer BS/ MD programs: 

Union College/Albany Medical College 

Duration: 7-8 years 

Min GPA: 3.5

Min Test Scores: None 

Union College, with the joint efforts of Albany Medical College, offers students the opportunity to enroll in a joint program where students can get both degrees within eight years. This joint program is a sure way for students to secure their place in medical college and continue their degrees forward. 

Baylor University/ Baylor College of Medicine 

Duration: 8 years

Min GPA: 3.7

Min Test Scores: ACT 26 – 31 SAT 1200 -1300

At Baylor University, you are required to enroll in an eight-year program where you can combine an undergraduate program and the Medicine of Doctor degree. This is a very competitive program, and only a few students can qualify for it. The students applying for the degree are also required to complete their pre-med coursework before they apply for the degree. If accepted, students first gain admission to  Baylor University and complete four years of their education there before moving on to the Baylor College of Medicine. 

Boston University/ Boston University of School Medicine 

Duration: 7 years

Min GPA: 3.5 

Min Test Scores: No Minimum 

The University of Boston offers a joint program with the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. They also offer an accelerated program where students can take an additional summer program for 12 weeks and therefore finish their degree earlier than others. All students are required to have seven semesters of undergraduate to have the opportunity to advance with a standing credit. 

CUNY School Of Medicine

Min GPA: 85% 

Min Test Scores: None 

This program is exclusively designed for high school students and is highly academically competitive. It is a seven-year program and starts off in the George Washington University Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.

University Of New Mexico School of Medicine
