Under a new articulation agreement with Nova Southeastern University (NSU) pre-med students at Jacksonville University (JU) now have a leg up in the medical school admissions process. The agreement establishes a dual admission 4+4 program for students who want to pursue their undergraduate degree at JU and seamlessly enter NSUs College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM).
“This strategic relationship with Jacksonville University will help to strengthen the higher education environment throughout our entire state, said Health Professions Division Chancellor, Dr. Fred Lippman. “The agreement will provide Florida students with enhanced access to NSUs outstanding medical school and be instrumental in producing a number of tomorrows compassionate, caring physicians.” NSU will reserve up to five slots annually for JU graduates who have completed undergraduate degrees and pre-med prerequisites. High school seniors seeking dual admission to the 4+4 program will need to apply to JU, and upon acceptance if eligible, apply and be interviewed at NSU. Upon completion of their bachelors degree and meeting the prescribed academic requirements, the students will matriculate into NSUs medical school.
