Science, Medical School Early Acceptance Program, (MSEAP), B.S.
The Medical School Early Acceptance Program (MSEAP) is a unique collaboration between MTSU and Meharry Medical College (MMC). The purpose of the program is to address the shortage of primary care physicians in the United States and especially in the state of Tennessee by providing an enriched undergraduate experience to highly qualified students in preparation for medical school. Admission into this program is highly competitive.
This accelerated program allows MSEAP students to spend only three years at MTSU to successfully complete prerequisite requirements. Qualifying students are admitted early to MMC. Upon completion of the full MSEAP program in seven years, the students receive both a B. S. degree from MTSU and an M. D. degree from MMC. This program is an accelerated program; the expectation is for students to spend three years as an undergraduate and an additional four years in medical school at Meharry. After successful completion of the prerequisite requirements, the program assures highly motivated undergraduates admission to Meharry Medical College.

Professional Licensure Disclosure
The Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) College of Education’s teacher licensure preparation programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and are eligible for accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in General Science with teacher licensure program at MTSU is designed to meet the licensure requirements set by the Tennessee Department of Education. Students should be aware that licensure requirements vary from state to state and are subject to change. MTSU has not made a determination whether a specific program will meet all of the requirements of another US state or territory. MTSU recommends that students who plan to seek licensure outside the state of Tennessee contact the appropriate licensing agency and discuss their plans with their advisor. To obtain current information about each state’s and territory’s licensure requirements and any additional regulations, students should consult the US Department of Education’s website for state contacts at https://www2.ed.gov/about/contacts/state/index.html.
Graduates of MTSU teacher education programs certified to teach in Tennessee are eligible for certification reciprocity in many states. Reciprocity is not an automatic or complete transfer of certification, thus individuals should consult the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) site at https://www.tn.gov/education/licensing.html and the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC) site at https://www.nasdtec.net/page/Interstate as well as the US Department of Education state contacts site for information about any additional state requirements.
