University of North TexasUNT

How it works

For each pathway, the first two years are spent at Midland College taking academically rigorous pre-PCPP courses. Students may be invited to apply for Early Acceptance Notification from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) which is part of the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. No MCAT is required!

All pre-med students complete the second year at Midland College and transfer to a four-year institution. PCPP students granted Early Acceptance Notification must transfer to the University of North Texas in Denton for their third (final) year of undergraduate studies.

Midland College students interested in the Primary Care Pathway Program must complete the Intent to Apply form (link below) and submit via email to pcpp@midland.edu before their first semester of undergraduate study.
