Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Early Acceptance Programs
Pitt-Bradford has several Early Acceptance Program affiliation agreements with LECOM. These programs allow a high school student or a current Pitt-Bradford freshman or sophomore to have a seat reserved for them in one of LECOM’s health professions schools.
In a 4+4 program, you attend Pitt-Bradford for the first four years to earn a bachelor’s degree followed by four years at one of LECOM’s health professions schools to earn your doctorate.
In a 3+4 program, you attend Pitt-Bradford for the first three years. After you complete your first year at LECOM, you’ll receive your bachelor’s degree from Pitt-Bradford. Once you complete the remaining three years at LECOM, you’ll receive your doctorate. If you’re accepted into this program, you can save a year’s worth of tuition.

The request for an interview and the Pitt-Bradford application can be submitted in either order, but please indicate on the LECOM portal that Pitt-Bradford is your college of choice.
