Med School Early Assurance Program

Through ODU’s exclusive partnership with Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-HCOM) eligible students can complete their Doctor of Osteopathy in as few as seven years. Students accepted into the program are able to follow one of the two tracks to completion, either a 3+4 track that allows them to attend ODU for three years, then complete their remaining credits for a bachelor’s degree during their first year at OU-HCOM, or a 4+4 track in which students complete their ODU degree prior to attending medical school at Ohio University’s main campus in Athens or its satellite campuses in Cleveland or Dublin, Ohio.
