Pre-Medical Program

Since its days as St. Thomas College, The University of Scranton has been preparing students to enter doctoral-level health professions. Today, there are more than 1,500 medical doctors worldwide who are Scranton alumni.

The acceptance rate of Scranton students to medical schools speaks volumes about the quality of its pre-medical program. Over the past five years, the acceptance rate of Scranton applicants into medical and related schools has ranged from 80 - 100%, twice the national average.

Despite their diverse careers as physicians, researchers, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists and veterinarians, they all prescribe to the Jesuit maxim of cura personalis – care for the whole person.

It could well be the best medicine going.
 

Decades of Scranton students have been accepted to medical programs at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia.
