Special Masters Programs

Special Masters Programs (SMPs) are graduate-level programs designed for students aiming to prepare for or strengthen their application to professional schools like medicine or dentistry. These programs typically offer coursework similar to the first year of medical or dental school, along with academic support and mentoring. They serve as a bridge for students who need to demonstrate their capability to handle rigorous health science coursework, improve their academic record, or gain relevant experience. Successfully completing an SMP can enhance admission prospects, although acceptance to professional programs is not guaranteed.
