^Pre-Medical Studies and Hartwick’s Three-Year Degree Program: Hartwick welcomes students interested in a career as a physician to consider its Three-Year Degree Program, whether in Biology or in other majors that offer the Three Year option.  Because of changes in the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) that go into effect starting in Spring 2015, pre-medical students will need to take additional coursework to best prepare them for the exam. In most cases, Three-Year Degree students will not be able to complete all coursework until the end of their third year at the College. Thus, these students will not be fully prepared to take the MCAT before that time, i.e., at about the time they graduate from Hartwick. Because the MCAT is required for medical school admission, this means that most Three-Year Degree students will not be able to start medical school in the fall immediately following their graduation from Hartwick. We advise such students to use the year immediately after completing a Hartwick degree to engage in experiential activities in the realm of health care to strengthen their records and commitment to a career in medicine.
