Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine (BS/MD) Dual Degree

The dual Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine Degree program is designed to meet the needs of our Premedical students who do not hold a first degree and wish to earn a Baccalaureate degree at St. George's University.

Premedical students enrolled in this bachelor degree program who continue into the first year of the medical sciences may complete the requirements for a Bachelor degree in the medical sciences after completion of the first year of the medical sciences.

Students who directly enter the third year of the Premedical Sciences (with Advanced Levels or an International Baccalaureate) have to complete additional coursework to be eligible for this degree. Applicants interested in this program will be evaluated for transfer credit.

Only qualified Premedical students who are enrolled in the BS/MD degree program will be eligible to receive a Bachelor of Science degree at the end of the first year of the medical program.
