Accelerated Program in Chemical Biology

If you are pursuing the special combined degree program in medicine or dentistry, you are enrolled in the Accelerated Chemical Biology program. A heavy course load is required during the three years of the program at Stevens, and completion of the B.S. degree requirements relies on transfer credit from the first year of study at the affiliated medical/dental school. Thus, enrolling in the accelerated chemical biology program is restricted to students admitted to these special programs.
