Science, Medical School Early Acceptance Program, (MSEAP), B.S.

Since 2019, MTSU's College of Basic and Applied Sciences (CBAS) is proud to partner with Meharry Medical College School of Medicine (MMCSOM) by offering the Medical School Early Acceptance Program (MSEAP). The purpose of the program is to increase the number of primary care physicians serving medically underserved populations as well as alleviate health care disparities in rural Tennessee.

MSEAP is a seven-year early medical acceptance program exclusively for incoming freshmen that begins with acceptance into the program as an undergraduate at MTSU and concludes with graduation from Meharry Medical College. At the conclusion of the program students will earn a Bachelor of Science from MTSU and a Doctor of Medicine from Meharry.

Participants must be Tennessee residents, have scored a 28 or higher on the ACT (or SAT equivalent), and earned a 3.5 or higher in their high school course work. The program consists of three years of study in a prescribed undergraduate premedical school curriculum and four years of medical school study. A three year Residency in Primary Care in a rural/underserved area of Tennessee along with a three year post-residency commitment is also required. Upon matriculation into MSEAP students receive conditional acceptance to MMCSOM. Substantial scholarships are available for students in the program for use at both MTSU and at Meharry Medical College.
