B.S. in Biology/M.D. Dual Degree Program with AUA

American University of Antigua College of Medicine will offer admission to the educational program leading to the Doctor of Medicine degree to graduates (B.S. in biology) of Saint Elizabeth University. Saint Elizabeth University (SEU) and the American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) have developed a B.S. / M.D. program for qualified students. Students attend Saint Elizabeth University for four years and complete their required prerequisite science and math courses as well as general education course requirements. Following the successful completion of a B.S. in biology at SEU, a student will then attend the American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) for four years and complete training in medicine. A student receives their M.D. at the completion of the program at AUA.
