What are Post Baccalaureate and Special Masters Programs? Post-baccalaureate programs are typically designed for students who already have a bachelors degree in a non-science field and wish to take or retake the prerequisites courses required for their intended professional school (Medical, Pharmacy, Optometry, etc.). There are many types of post-baccalaureate programs such as academic enhancers and career changers (described in further detail below). Many programs offer a post-baccalaureate ‘certificate’ upon completion of the program. Special Masters Programs (SMPs) are master degree programs geared towards preparing students for their intended professional school by taking relevant graduate/professional school level courses. Some SMP curriculums consist of courses that are taken along side graduate, PhD, or professional school (medical, dental, etc.) students, allowing admissions committees to directly measure and compare students’ proficiencies at these higher levels. Other programs consist of courses that are strictly offered to the students in that particular SMP.

Keep in mind that depending on your program, your courses may or may not be factored into your undergraduate GPA.
