The Postbaccalaureate
Premedical Track:
This program is offered by University
College of Rutgers University in New Brunswick to students who already
hold college degrees. It provides an opportunity to prepare for
application to medical schools and other health related professional
schools. Students may choose to take only those courses needed for the
appropriate application, courses which they desire, or courses leading
to a second undergraduate degree with a major different from the one
already awarded. Applicants must have completed a baccalaureate degree
in any field at an accredited institution with a minimum 3.0 GPA,
provide a complete and official transcript of all college work, write an
essay stating reasons for applying to the program, and submit two
letters of recommendation from faculty, employers, or supervisors. As
members of this Program, students will be considered as matriculated and
will have full access with equal priority to all undergraduate courses
for which they qualify. Upon completion of all the requirements of the
Program, they will be awarded a Certificate of Completion. The award
will appear on transcripts issued by the University Registrar.

The Office for Diversity and Academic Success in the Sciences (ODASIS) has a threefold mission to:
1.Increase the numbers of Hispanic, African-American, and EOF students
majoring in the sciences by providing a more supportive environment;
2.enhance their levels of academic achievement; and
3.increase their entry into graduate or professional schools or in their
chosen fields in the work force.
The ODASIS offers several programs to further its mission. The Success
in the Sciences Program provides academic advising, career
counseling, motivational workshops, and assistance in gaining enriching
educational experiences. An important program component is a tutorial
project, cosponsored by Rutgers College, which gives students
cocurricular support in key math and science courses.
The Biomedical Careers Program (BCP), offered jointly by Rutgers,
The State University of New Jersey (New Brunswick) and the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
(UMDNJ-RWJMS), is a summer enrichment program. Participants take science
courses, attend seminars, gain experience at a health-care facility, and
undertake research with a faculty mentor. Ninety percent of participants
in this program have earned their bachelor's degree; of these, more than
half have earned professional or other degrees.
The ACCESS-MED Program provides academic and other support to
students applying to any medical or dental school. Of special note is
their opportunity also to gain early admission to UMDNJ-RWJMS during
their senior year and to begin medical school courses while completing
their undergraduate degrees. The ACCESS-MED Program is a consortial
venture involving Rutgers, UMDNJ_RWJMS, and Seton Hall University.
