The Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM) is an academic division of Michigan State University (MSU), and grants the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. The college also offers the DO/PhD combined degree for students interested in the Medical Scientist Training Program.[4] COM operates three campuses in East Lansing, Macomb, and Detroit Medical Center. The college is accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.[5]
U.S.News & World Report has released its annual evaluation of the top graduate schools in the United States, and the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine was listed in the Top 10. MSUCOM is ranked ninth among all medical schools in United States of America for primary care education. The rankings are based on a variety of factors including peer assessments, student achievement, selectivity and — in this particular category — the number of graduates who enter primary care. Selection is made from a competitive applicant pool and depends on many aspects of the applicant such as GPA, MCAT, maturity, and life experiences.
