A combined undergraduate and medical degree program that allows students to be accepted into both college and medical school from high school.
Our program, having a rich history spanning more than 40 years, selects students who are not only academically exceptional but passionate about a variety of subjects, from science and the arts to sports, music, student government, and community service. We take pride in affording our students the freedom to choose any major and actively encourage students to explore humanities or social sciences as they complete their bachelor’s degree.
While this program is a part of the Honors Academy at Brooklyn College, B.A.-M.D. students are fully integrated into the college community, taking classes alongside the general student body and engaging in a broad range of campus activities. Those who successfully complete our honors undergraduate premedical curriculum earn a baccalaureate degree (B.A. or B.S., depending on their major) from Brooklyn College. Additionally, every student accepted into the B.A.-M.D. Program is eligible for a Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship, covering four years of undergraduate study.

The B.A.-M.D. program is an eight-year combined bachelor’s/M.D. program. Students in the program must complete four years of undergraduate studies at Brooklyn College, followed by four years of medical studies.
High school seniors currently attending high school in the United States and are either permanent residents or U.S. citizens are eligible to apply. High school graduates and transfers from other colleges are not eligible.
The online application opens around September 1 and closes around December 8.

Yes. Students can also apply to Macaulay Honors College and the Scholars Program. Students are permitted to be members of both Macaulay Honors College and the B.A.-M.D. program, or the Scholars and the B.A.-M.D. programs.

The program seeks academically strong students with a wide range of interests. Academic strength criteria include high school GPA, AP courses completed or in progress, Regents scores, etc. Applicants should also submit a well-organized résumé that captures a diverse breadth of interests.
The program provides qualifying participants with a scholarship that will cover a portion of their annual in-state tuition. This situation is subject to change.
B.A.-M.D. students who also join the Macaulay Honors College or the Scholars Program will receive their scholarships through that program, so if their Macaulay or Scholars affiliation changes, their scholarship will not continue.
Not necessarily. Each student has a unique program and may or may not be in class with other B.A.-M.D. students. Even though the science courses taken by each B.A.-M.D. student in the freshman year are the same, a particular student may be in a problem-solving session (recitation) or lab that does not contain any other B.A.-M.D. freshmen. In later years, the programs of B.A.-M.D. students diverge even further, because each student has chosen a specific major that may differ from that of the other members of his or her class. In addition, general education courses can be taken in any order, so, again, the programs of members of a particular B.A.-M.D. class may differ.
