The curriculum is scheduled for 35 weeks in the first year and 48 weeks in each of the remaining five years.Applicants for admission to the year 1 level of the combined program must meet the freshman admission requirements of the University.

However, approximately 20 percent of the class may be accepted from out of state. Criminal background checks will be performed on combined-degree students and M.D.-only students before matriculation into the program.
