Montclair State University has articulation agreements with other universities that allow students to complete a BS in Chemistry or Biochemistry at Montclair State and an advanced degree elsewhere, usually in a shorter amount of time than if the two degrees were completed independently. The application process, schedule, selection criteria, and other aspects of the articulation agreements vary from program to program. Contact your advisor for a particular program if you have additional questions.
Available Articulation Programs
- BS/MD Medical program with Rutgers University (8-year program)
Health Careers Program students only, contact Donna Lorenzo, lorenzod@montclair.edu or 973-655-4415, for more information - BS/PharmD Doctor of Pharmacy Program with Rutgers University
Advisor: Dr. Dyer (RICH 225H)
To apply to one of these programs at Montclair State University, please contact admissions, msuadm@montclair.edu.
Montclair State University no longer participates in the joint 7-year BS/MD program administered by Rutgers University, which required students to complete their undergraduate degree in 3 years. Students interested in pursuing medical, dental, optometry, veterinary or other health professions should work closely with our faculty and professional advisors throughout their undergraduate program to identify, and best prepare, for professional program options.
