Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Cooperative Programs

Enjoy Your Time at Seton Hill Knowing You Have a Seat Waiting in Medical School

Seton Hill’s partnership with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) provides a special opportunity for Seton Hill freshmen who plan to go on to medical, dental, pharmacy or podiatry school after completing their undergraduate studies.

Qualifying incoming Seton Hill freshmen studying biology or biochemistry can reserve their spot in medical, dental, pharmacy or podiatry school at LECOM before they start at Seton Hill. It's then possible to go straight from undergraduate studies to medical school - often in an accelerated timeframe.

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine is the largest medical school in the country, and one of the most affordable.

LECOM at Seton HillPartnership with LECOM

Students in the Osteopathic Medicine Program have the option of attending the LECOM medical school site on Seton Hill’s Greensburg campus, called LECOM at Seton Hill.

“The addition of LECOM to Seton Hill created my ideal campus. Knowing that I could attend such a prestigious university and become a doctor of osteopathic medicine…while remaining in my hometown surrounded by the people I love, is a dream come true.”

- Faith Finoli, who took advantage of Seton Hill’s partnership with LECOM to enter medical school after three years of undergraduate study at Seton Hill
