Program DescriptionIt’s no secret that medical school admissions are extremely competitive. At the University of New Haven, we take a unique and progressive approach to preparing our students to attend medical school through the pre-medical studies designation. Our pre-medical studies designation is not an academic major or stand-alone program. It must be declared in addition to an academic major via the Health Professions Advising Center. The pre-medical studies designation is open to all University of New Haven students, regardless of academic major.

As a pre-med student at the University of New Haven, you’ll be provided with countless experiential opportunities and the resources to ensure that you’re the most competitive medical school candidate possible. We provide:

• Faculty-mentored research

• Study abroad at our Italian campus

• Volunteer opportunities in the local community

• Pre-med workshops and boot camps

• On-campus student organizations and clubs such as HOSA

• Specialized programs to earn national certification in phlebotomy or as a patient care technician

• Partnerships with regional hospitals and clinics

Admission to medical school is fiercely competitive. But if you have the drive and work ethic, we can support you with the preparation to successfully gain admission to the medical school of your choice.
