Furman and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine-Greenville have created a new partnership that allows talented pre-med students from Furman to gain early admission to one of South Carolina’s leading medical schools.
Established in 2012, USC School of Medicine-Greenville is a four-year medical school located on Prisma Health’s Greenville Memorial Medical Campus and is part of the University of South Carolina, the state’s largest university system.
The USC School of Medicine-Greenville will allow one Furman graduate to enroll in its four-year program on a full scholarship. The scholarship is funded by the Sanders Family Foundation of Greenville.
The direct entry program provides up to five qualified students with admission to the USC SOM Greenville simultaneous with acceptance to Furman University. High school seniors who have been admitted to Furman are eligible to apply. To remain eligible, students must meet the academic requirements, participate in programming and a junior year assessment, and engage in approved clinical experiences.
