Formal Post-Bac Program
The Program has recently been split into two components, a Career Changer Track (CCT) and a new Academic Enhancer Track (AET). The CCT continues the highly structured and supportive program already in place for those needing to take pre-requisite science and math courses in preparation for applying to graduate health professions schools such as medical, dental and pharmacy schools. The AET is a new track for those who need to improve their academic record by taking mainly upper-division science electives in preparation for applying to graduate health professions schools. See the Summary web page for more details.
The Online Application for CCT Cohort 5 (2010-2012), to enter in early June, 2010, and AET Cohort A, to enter in late August, 2010, is now available. Both tracks use the same online application and have rolling admissions. See the Application and Admission web page for details. Deadlines: CCT, March 15, 2010; AET, July 1, 2010.
Dental Post-Bac Programs
We offer two highly successful programs: a Dental Reapplicant Program for socionomically disadvantaged dental school reapplicants, and an Adjunct Dental Program for non-disadvantaged dental school reapplicants and all first-time dental school applicants that have completed all dental school pre-requisite courses. Applications for both 2010-2011 Programs are now available. Deadline: April 1, 2010 for both Programs.
Informal Post-Bac Programs
For those taking pre-requisite or advanced science and math courses in a less structured environment and for lower tuition. The Open U Program is still available, but due to California budget cuts and subsequent increased enrollment demand by undergraduates, it is difficult but not impossible to get into classes through this program. Admission to the 2nd-Bac Program is now closed for for the foreseeable future due to California budget cuts. Please stay tuned for possible future developments. E-Mail Advice
