A new partnership with the will facilitate early admission for students interested in graduate programs in public health, clinical investigation, epidemiology, and health services research and policy. Qualified undergraduates can complete a bachelor’s degree at Geneseo and a master’s degree at the University of Rochester in an accelerated format, saving both time and tuition.

“This partnership creates new and meaningful pathways for Geneseo students who aspire to careers in public health and the health sciences,” says Mary C. Toale, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “By collaborating with the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, one of the nation’s leading academic medical centers, we are connecting our students with exceptional opportunities that align with their ambitions and prepare them for impact in their chosen fields.”

Under the partnership agreement, Geneseo students can apply for conditional admission to the School of Medicine and Dentistry as early as the fall of their junior year. Students admitted to these programs may take up to two UR graduate courses during their senior year to fulfill their undergraduate degree requirements (up to six credits) and to apply toward the master’s degree, without paying additional UR tuition. Admitted students will also benefit from a 30 percent discount on their graduate tuition in addition to other available scholarships, grants, and loan programs.

The 4+1 program welcomes students from a wide variety of Geneseo majors, including anthropology; applied mathematics; Black and Africana studies; data analytics; economics; international relations; mathematics; philosophy, politics, and economics; political science; psychology; sociology; sociomedical sciences; sustainability studies; and gender, sexuality, and women’s studies. Students from majors not listed may inquire about eligibility with the dean’s office in the School of Arts and Sciences. To be eligible for program admission, students must have successfully completed at Geneseo two or more health-related courses and at least one statistics or analysis course, plus have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher.

UR’s School of Medicine and Dentistry master’s programs offer personal attention, close working relationships with peers and faculty, and extensive research participation. Prospective students interested in exploring these health career options should contact Kevin Reed, assistant director of admissions, at 585-245-5435 or reedk@geneseo.edu.
