A new articulation agreement establishes a dual admission 4+4 program for students who want to pursue their undergraduate degree at Jacksonville University, then seamlessly enter NSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM).
“Our college offers one of five fully-accredited programs in the state. We continue to place ourselves on the cusp of medical innovation, preparing students for a rapidly evolving medical landscape brimming with challenge and opportunity,” said Anthony J. Silvagni, D.O., dean of NSU-COM.
NSU will reserve up to five slots annually for JU graduates who have completed undergraduate degrees and premed prerequisites. High school seniors seeking dual admission to the 4+4 program will need to apply to JU. Upon acceptance, if they are eligible, they can apply and be interviewed at NSU. After completing their bachelor’s degrees and meeting the prescribed academic requirements, the students will matriculate into NSU’s medical school.
This strategic relationship with Jacksonville University will help to strengthen the higher education environment throughout our state. The agreement will provide Florida students with enhanced access to NSU’s outstanding medical school and be instrumental in producing a number of tomorrow’s compassionate, caring physicians.
NSU COM has a student body of more than 750 students, and has articulation agreements with three other member institutions of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF).
