UMKC School of Medicine B.A./M.D. Program
Thank you for your interest in the UMKC School of Medicine B.A./M.D. program. We are thrilled that you are considering UMKC as an option for your medical education.
Students admitted to the UMKC B.A./M.D. program have the opportunity to earn the Baccalaureate and Doctor of Medicine degrees through a six-year (48 weeks a year) combined program offered by the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Medicine. The combined nature of the program allows you to become a competent physician through a vibrant and innovative medical education, while also providing a liberal arts education to prepare you for great responsibility and social awareness for the community in which you live. This philosophy allows you to spend six years in an integrated program that blends the humanities and arts with the discipline of medicine.
As a UMKC medical student, you can be confident that you will receive a strong foundation in medicine by developing the core competencies we believe are essential for practicing medicine: further development of interpersonal and communication skills; cultivation of professional behavior, including moral reasoning and ethical judgment; expansion of medical knowledge to apply both basic and clinical science; utilization of practice-based learning, to diagnose, manage, prevent and provide continuing care, as well as develop further skills in self-reflection and self-improvement; and employ systems-based practice to actively incorporate psychological, social, cultural and economic factors in the practice of medicine.
The UMKC School of Medicine, along with the schools of dentistry, pharmacy and nursing, is located on our Hospital Hill campus in downtown Kansas City. By joining the UMKC School of Medicine, you will become a member of the greater Kansas City community and enjoy the benefits it has to offer – great cultural events, concerts, food, sports teams, shopping and nightlife. Additionally, Kansas City has been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of America’s best downtowns for its entertainment attractions, rich culture of arts and amazing cuisine.
The UMKC School of Medicine is committed to advancing the health of our community, and we are delighted that you are beginning the application process. We look forward to receiving your application and considering you for admission to our B.A./M.D. program.

Program Information
Non-Missouri residents are only eligible to apply to the six-year B.A./M.D. Program. Please indicate “Six-Year B.A./M.D. Program Only” when selecting the program consideration option below.
Missouri residents have the option of applying to the following programs:
Six-year B.A./M.D. Program
The six-year B.A./M.D. program allows a student to enter medical school directly out of high school or immediately after completing the first year of college. Students who enter this program will complete the baccalaureate and medical degrees in six years, and will pursue baccalaureate degrees in Liberal Arts, Chemistry or Biology (major selection is dependent on number of courses transferrable from high school – AP, IB, dual enrollment, etc.).
Guaranteed Admission Baccalaureate/M.D. Program
The Guaranteed Admission Baccalaureate/M.D. program allows a student to spend one year as a UMKC undergraduate student before entering the School of Medicine, thus allowing for the completion of the baccalaureate and medical degrees in seven years rather than six. Students who enter this program pursue undergraduate degrees in Chemistry or Biology. During the first year of the program, students are enrolled as UMKC undergraduate students, not medical students, and receive academic advising from the chemistry or biology academic advisor. At the end of the first year, students in this program who meet the academic requirements are guaranteed admission to the School of Medicine B.A./M.D. program for the second year. This program is ideal for candidates who would like a transition year between high school and medical school, or for those students who would like to complete an undergraduate degree in Biology or Chemistry but may not have enough transferrable credit (AP, IB, dual enrollment) from high school.
Please select which program(s) you would like to be considered for. Please note: Selecting consideration for both programs DOES NOT increase your chances of being offered admission to either program. This information is not used in the decision-making process, but is used after admission decisions have been made for the purposes of program placement. Please only indicate the program(s) you are seriously interested in being considered for.
Please indicate which program you would like to be considered for:
*Six-Year B.A./M.D. Program Only
*Guaranteed Admission Baccalaureate/M.D. Program Only
*Six-Year B.A./M.D. Program OR Guaranteed Admission Baccalaureate/M.D. Program
By indicating my choice(s) above, I understand that my selection of one program or both program options does not increase or decrease my chances of being offered admission, and I have selected the option(s) that I am seriously interested in receiving consideration for.
