The Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program

Bennington's Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program provides an alternative to the usual options for college graduates who are interested in completing the premedical school curriculum. Bennington's program is completely integrated into the College's math and science curriculum. Postbacc students at Bennington encounter the same intellectual vitality, faculty attention, and laboratory access as full-time undergraduates.

Postbacc students work with upper-level undergraduates in classes that generally number no more than 15 students. They meet regularly with a faculty advisor and have ongoing access to their teaching faculty, and to all of the other curricular and extra-curricular resources of the College. While recognizing that the postbacc curriculum is governed by requirements for access to medical school and other health-related professional schools, our objective is to make this experience intellectually stimulating and satisfying in its own right rather than being a separate track outside the context.

We are, of course, equally committed to assisting postbac students in achieving their professional goals. Graduates of the postbacc program at Bennington have been admitted in medical schools all over the country, including:

• Dartmouth University Medical School
• Georgetown University Medical School
• Harvard University Medical School
• Johns Hopkins University Medical School
• Northwestern University Medical School
• NY College of Osteopathic Medicine
• Rochester University Medical School
• SUNY Albany Medical School
• University of California San Diego Medical School
• University of Michigan Medical School
• University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
• University of Pittsburgh Medical School
