Students are selected based on their academic and professional achievements, as well as their interest in healthcare professions. We primarily target students who have participated in one of the CU system’s Pre-Collegiate programs (CU Anschutz CUPS, CU Boulder, CU Colorado Springs, & CU Denver). Additionally, we encourage applications from first-generation college attendees, low-income or financially disadvantaged students, U.S. veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
- Ideal candidates include graduating high school seniors, first-year college students, or second-year college students who are on track to graduate within five years. Participants must commit to the two-year program, including one preparatory year before applying to professional school. Students with upperclassmen standing, such as juniors or above, will not be considered.
- A two-year program commitment is required, including fall and spring academic terms, as well as summer sessions (Year I: 2 weeks; Year II: 6–8 weeks).
- Students are not permitted to hold part-time jobs or enroll in classes during the summer portion of the program. Exceptions for online classes may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
- Applicants must be full-time students, excluding summers, throughout the program participation.
- Applicants must be a Colorado resident.
