Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine - B.S./D.O. (4+4)

A preferred admission pathway available to current Stevens students interested in osteopathic medicine.

This pre-med program gives current Stevens's students the opportunity to earn their B.S. degree at Stevens and their D.O. degree at Rowan - Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine.

Students will apply internally in the spring of their second year. Students will then be recommended to interview with Rowan. If admitted into the 4+4 pathway by Rowan, at the end of the summer, they will participate in programming through Rowan during their junior and senior year. They will complete their Stevens B.S. degree in four years, making sure to meet the requirements as listed below to matriculate into the SOM to complete their D.O. in four years.

This is a new program as of the 2027-2028 academic year.
