Application to apply available March 15, 2024
Beginning Fall 2024, CSU's P2P is launching a new pre-med track for students transferring from partnering community colleges, Cuyahoga Community College, Lakeland Community College, and Lorain County Community College. We break down general education courses to create a pre-med curriculum that aligns with medical school requirements. We layer in courses that provide a base foundation in urban health and provide wrap-around support services to ensure your success.
