International Students

The Program in Pre-Health welcomes our undergraduate international students and scholars.
Please contact the CCNY Office of International Students and Scholars for resources and information here

Are you an international student and considering applying to CCNY Pre-Health as a post-baccalaureate student?  Please review the following:

•    Applicants with foreign credentials equivalent to a bachelor’s degree from an American college or university may be  admitted to CCNY Pre-Health as a post-bac student
•    However, the US medical schools and most of health professions career tracks (dentistry, veterinary medicine, Physician Assistant, etc.) will not honor any coursework taken outside the US.  This includes math and science coursework
•    In many cases it may be necessary for international students to complete a bachelor’s degree at an accredited US college or university; or, at the very least, obtain a minimum of 60 college credits taken at an accredited US college or university
•    No federal financial aid is available for students who are not citizens or permanent residents of the US; this includes aid to offset tuition costs as either an undergraduate or post-baccalaureate student
