NEW BS/MD Program for the 2026-2027 Cycle
Exciting news!!! The University of Arkansas has partnered with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) to offer a new 6-YEAR BS/MD program. This program is open to all applicants, but there is a preference for Arkansas residents, followed by residents of adjoining states. A cohort of 25 students will make up the initial class, which is actually a decent number when it comes to BS/MD programs—putting it right between very small programs (Pitt, Baylor, UCincinati, etc.) and larger programs (Brown, Rutgers-NJMS, UMKC, etc.). Speaking of UMKC, it certainly seems that this new program was designed to compete with UMKC in that region for the top BS/MD applicants.
To learn more about this program, and how it is both similar and different from UMKC’s well-established, 6-year BS/MD program, be sure to read the full article on my website.
