Is AUC accredited?

Yes. AUC's medical school facilities and curriculum are accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), which is the accreditor used by the country of St. Maarten. Being an international foreign operating school, AUC is not eligible to seek accreditation from traditional US accreditors.

How does that compare to US accreditation?

A special review board appointed by the US Department of Education (the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation, or NCFMEA) has reviewed ACCM’s standards and determined that they are comparable to those used to accredit medical schools in the US. This is an important distinction for AUC, and one held by only a few Caribbean schools.

Where can I practice as an AUC graduate?

You’ll be eligible for licensure to practice in all 50 US states, Canada, and internationally.

Are there scholarships available? 

AUC is proud to have awarded more than $40.4 million USD in scholarships since 2009. We offer a variety of merit-based scholarships that reward academic achievement, recognize community volunteerism, and more, for those who qualify. 

How selective is AUC's admissions process? 

At AUC, we have rigorous standards when considering applicants. Yes, we look at the whole person-we want to know about one's life experience, volunteerism, maturity, and commitment- but we also look closely at how a candidate performed academically as an undergraduate and their MCAT score.
