Duquesne University Pathway
The DUQCOM Track is a partnership between Cleveland State University and Duquesne University College of Medicine, an osteopathic medical school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This program gives undergraduate students an early start toward medical school and the chance to interview with DUQCOM, though it does not guarantee admission. The track helps students grow academically and get ready for their medical careers.
Here's How it Works:
- Apply: Students apply to P2P's Berkman Jackson track during the spring/summer semester of their second year at CSU. If eligible, students submit an official application to DUCQOM during their junior year.
- Academic Requirements: Accepted students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.6, a science GPA of 3.5 and required MCAT
- Experiential Learning: Students gain access to hands-on learning like job shadowing and physician mentors by earning our Urban Health Certificate (required)
- Advising and Support: Students are assigned a P2P advisor and have access to MCAT and science course tutoring.
- Eligible for Medical School Interview: Eligible for medical school interview if all requirements are met.
Note: Medical school admission is not guaranteed, but P2P is designed to help students strengthen their applications and prepare for medical school.
