Health Sciences Medical Post Baccalaureate Curriculum

All coursework within the Post Baccalaureate Program curriculum is presented on campus by doctoral-level LECOM faculty. Approximately 10 to 15 LECOM faculty members participate in this program, which ensures opportunities for small group interaction and a close working relationship with the faculty.

Classes are held daily Monday through Friday at the Bayfront campus from 2 to 6 p.m. for two 16-week semesters.

Within each 16-week semester, there are approximately 60 class sessions for a total of 180 contact hours, or 15 credit hours. Post Baccalaureate students must adhere to all policies and regulations of LECOM as described in the LECOM Student Catalog/Handbook.
