Hi Anita! According to the UConn website, they do offer a 8 year BS to MD program. It looks like there are special requirements you have to meet when you first enter the school and then again when you join the School of Medicine post BS. You can find more info here: https://admissions.uconn.edu/apply/first-year/special-programs/medicine/

Navigating the internet for college advice can be tough; there is A LOT of misinformation out there. When looking for info about specific schools, always trust the school website first.

Courtney’s Answer

Anita, that is an affirmative. This is directly from the website:

"UConn’s Special Program in Medicine links undergraduate preparation with four years of medical education, resulting in dual degrees from UConn: a BA/BS and a MD. Students focused on a career in medicine can choose from our more than 115 undergraduate majors while taking advantage of opportunities in the UConn School of Medicine through special seminars and health-profession events. This eight-year program aims to develop accomplished physicians, while also providing flexibility to accommodate individual choices. All students accepted to the Special Program in Medicine will be enrolled UConn's Honors Program. Special Program students are required to be enrolled in the Honors Program as they enter UConn."

When I attended UConn School of Medicine many (many, many) years ago it was an "up-and-comer". The school is now well established in the world of medical education and research. I would encourage anyone who is interested to take a look at this wonderful institution.

Wishing you all the best.
