Des Moines University has partnered with other universities and colleges to create opportunities for students to receive a guaranteed interview and/or earn credit toward concurrent degrees.
Participating students will expand their knowledge and will become better equipped to advance as effective members of health care teams, public policy advocates, researchers in clinical or public health areas, developers of community-based health programs, and leaders in their professions and organizations. These students will also benefit from applied experiences within the community and increased interactions with health care professionals.
Students must separately apply to and be admitted to each program. Applications to the programs are not linked in any way. Each university and college will separately administer their respective admissions processes.
For more information about DMU’s partnership opportunities, students may contact DMUadmit@dmu.edu or work with their undergraduate advisors.
