Are you excited to become a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)? Elmira's Early Acceptance Program with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) streamlines the path to becoming one. When you enroll in Elmira and LECOM’s dual degree path, your graduate program seat is secured, which allows you to focus on your undergraduate studies without the pressure of seeking a medical school or taking the MCAT. What’s more is that you have the choice between an accelerated 2+4 or a traditional 4+4 track for your academic journey.
"I chose Elmira not only because of the scholarships and financial aid, but because of the immediate assurance of getting into medical school. ... Being at Elmira and having that tie [with LECOM] lets me explore and learn in different areas."
–Emma Guthrie '26
If you’re interested in pursuing a career in health care, research, teaching, or an advanced degree, our Biology courses will give you a solid academic foundation that you can build on. Before you decide which Biology courses to take, be sure to get advice from an academic advisor so that you’re setting yourself up on the best path for success.
Choosing a dual degree in Biology sets you apart from the crowd. It shows you’re serious about your professional future and determined to embrace the academic rigors of such a program. We offer two learning tracks so you can target how you want to earn your dual degree.
