The PREP Program

This program is designed for students who have received or will soon receive a bachelor's degree and have not committed to a career path in science. It is designed to "immerse" students in an active research lab where the excitement of biomedical research is obvious and nurtured with the hopes of encouraging them to pursue doctoral training in the biomedical sciences.

If this sounds like you… apply to the PREP!

We have multiple admission dates in August, January and May, but the program typically starts in June with the 2nd Summer academic term.
