Bachelor of Science Traditional 2+2 Transfer Program

The Traditional Bachelor of Science Degree 2+2 Program requires the applicant to attend an accredited college or university of their choice for the first two years to complete the required core curriculum courses. Applications can be made during the sophomore year for transfer into the Medical College of Georgia. Accepted students will be admitted for the Fall Semester to begin their junior year. Early application is encouraged, however, applications will be accepted until the class is filled. MCG courses include classroom, laboratory, clinical, and web-based learning.

The MCG program offers training in multiple clinical sites that offer unique opportunities for training professionals. Four major hospital complexes are within walking distance of the department. Clinical sites include a regional trauma center, a regional burn center, two level 3 neonatal intensive care units,
a diagnostic sleep center, a pulmonary rehabilitation center, and pulmonary function laboratories. Students rotate through all intensive care areas to include open heart recovery, shock trauma, medical intensive care, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric intensive care. Students also rotate through the Emergency Departments and Operating Rooms. Other areas of clinical training include home care, skilled nursing facilities, and community-based programs such as a summer asthma camp.

On successful completion of this program, the student will be eligible to sit for the national credential examinations administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC). The program places a strong emphasis on professional as well as academic growth. The program has a low student to teacher ratio and first time pass rates for MCG graduates are well above the national average on national entry level and advanced practice exams.
