The Combined Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program (B.S./D.O.) is an accredited program for talented, highly motivated students. Students complete their baccalaureate preparation in three years and may then be admitted directly into NYIT's College of Osteopathic Medicine, which requires four years for the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. The Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences degree will be conferred upon successful completion of the first year at the College of Osteopathic Medicine.

To be admitted into this special program, students must submit SAT and/or ACT results with a combined SAT score of 1200 or above an ACT total of at least 28. In addition they must have a high school average of 90 or above and a high class standing. Following the completion of three years at the undergraduate school, students may qualify for admission into the College of Osteopathic Medicine. Specifically, in order for a student to be considered for acceptance to the college and invited for a personal interview, the student must complete the College of Osteopathic Medicine Admissions application and meet the following criteria:
