In almost all cases, students enter medical or dental school after completing a four-year undergraduate program. Occasionally, highly qualified students enter after three years. A student who enters medical or dental school after three years of undergraduate study may receive the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in biology from Carroll College under the following conditions.

  1. Successful completion of the first 3 years of course work in the major program.
  2. Fulfillment of all Carroll College Core Curriculum requirements.
  3. Successful completion of the first 2 years of professional school; and
  4. Application for degree and receipt by the Registrar’s Office of an official transcript from the professional school.
