 UCF-USF Medical Program

---

Eligible UCF freshmen who have been admitted to The Burnett Honors College and are interested in attending medical school have an opportunity to receive guaranteed admission to USF’s College of Medicine and complete a medical degree in seven years, provided that the student continues to meet all the requirements of the program. The first three years of study will be done at UCF and the fourth year will be done in residence at USF as part of the first year of medical school. UCF will confer a Bachelor’s Degree following successful completion of the fourth year of study. USF will confer the Doctor of Medicine Degree at the successful completion of the program.

Students applying for this accelerated program should select the Molecular Biology and Microbiology major in order to receive a Baccalaureate Degree from UCF and complete the requirements of this accelerated program

The Burnett Honors College will provide oversight of the student’s progress in meeting Honors requirements and will coordinate overall completion of the first three years of the program. Students will receive advisement and schedule planning assistance each semester from a department advisor and the Pre-professional advisor.

Students attending the USF Medical School during their fourth year of matriculation (3 + 4 track) may transfer a maximum of 30 hours of course work taken at USF toward their UCF undergraduate degree. Such students fulfilling the accelerated 3 + 4 track will receive their BS degree from the University of Central Florida after successfully completing all UCF requirements and the requirements of the first year of medical education at USF.

The USF College of Medicine will provide oversight of the 4-year medical school curricular component of the program.

Applying to the program:

Students must first apply and be accepted to UCF, and also must apply and be accepted to Honors, before they can submit the application to this accelerated medical program.  The deadline for submission of the UCF/USF Accelerated/Early Acceptance Medical Program to us is March 31st (postmarked).  Students who are interested in this program should be prepared to submit their Burnett Honors College application no later than March 15th to ensure that the Honors Admission staff has time to ensure eligibility for the program, and has time to inform the student of their admission status with Honors.  Applications to the UCF/USF Accelerated/Early Acceptance Medical Program submitted past the deadline will not be considered.
