4-4 and 3-4 Physician Programs

Westminster-LECOM 3-4 and 4-4 Affiliations. Students in the 3-4 program spend three years at Westminster followed by 4 years at Lake Erie College of Osteopath­ic Medicine (LECOM); when students have completed 125 total undergraduate semester hours (including transfer back of first year LECOM course credits), they receive a B.S. degree from Westminster. Students in the 4-4 Medical School Affiliate Program complete their baccalaureate degree at Westminster, then move directly on to earn a D.O. degree from LECOM. Participation in these programs requires academically eligible students to apply directly to, and interview with, LECOM. Stu­dents can enter these programs through their first two years at Westminster, or as a high school student prior to enrolling at Westminster.
