3 + 4 BS-MD: This rigorous accelerated dual-degree program provides an opportunity for exceptional high school seniors to simultaneously apply for acceptance to Rowan University and CMSRU. For their undergraduate education, candidates may choose either the College of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) or the College of Science and Mathematics at Rowan University. Applications are screened in January and interviews are conducted in late winter/early spring. All decisions regarding acceptance of students rest entirely in the hands of the CMSRU faculty, under the auspices of the Admissions Committee. A minimum of three students from each of the cohorts listed above will be accepted into the program each application cycle.

After three years, following successful completion of undergraduate academic requirements and extracurricular experiences, participating students are granted admission to CMSRU. Students participating in BS-MD pathway must still submit an AMCAS application to CMSRU by November 15 of their third undergraduate year, although they are not required to re-interview with the Admissions Committee.

BS in Biomedical Engineering-MD (4+i): This dual-degree program with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rowan University provides an alternate pathway for high school seniors who desire a non-accelerated (four-year) undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering followed by post-graduate medical education at CMSRU. Applications for the program must be submitted to Rowan University by December 15. Applications are screened in January and candidates will be notified of acceptance into the program by March. Up to four students may be accepted into the pathway each admissions cycle.

Program participants will be guaranteed an interview at CMRSU during their final undergraduate academic year if they have met the following criteria: 1) overall undergraduate GPA ≥ 3.7, 2) undergraduate science GPA ≥ 3.7, 3) total MCAT score ≥ 80th percentile, and 4) evidence of adequate clinical experiences and service activities. Students in the pathway who meet the above criteria will submit an AMCAS application to CMSRU in the spring/early summer prior to the start of their final academic year at Rowan, with medical school interviews occurring in the late summer/early fall.
