ROSS 3 + 4 ACCELERATED MEDICAL PROGRAM This agreement with Ross University School of Medicine allows qualified students to earn a bachelor's degree from Gannon and an M.D. degree from Ross University in a total of seven years. Under the agreement, students complete three years of study at Gannon and then enroll in the Ross University School of Medicine. After successfully completing two semesters of coursework at Ross University, students are awarded a Bachelor's Degree in Health Science from Gannon. Ross University's School of Medicine is located on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. Students spend four semesters on the island completing the basic science curriculum before beginning their clinical training in the United States. During Ross's 33-year history, more than 7,700 Ross graduates have entered U.S. residency programs in every specialty in medicine, including programs at all of the major academic medical centers. Ross graduates now typically comprise the largest medical school cohort in the National Residency Match Program.
