Overview

The bachelor’s degree (BS in Biology) is awarded by Fairleigh Dickinson University and the doctoral degree (DO) by Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM). Through these Early Acceptance Programs, Fairleigh Dickinson University undergraduate students are enrolled jointly by FDU and by LECOM. Once recommended by FDU, LECOM will interview the students prior to their enrollment at Fairleigh Dickinson University or within the first two years of being properly enrolled in the program.

Students interviewing successfully will be offered a provisional acceptance to LECOM’s Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. To receive the official Provisional Letter of Acceptance, students must request the Letter by e-mailing LECOM from their FDU e-mail address within 12 months of their interview date.
