A regional campus offers a unique opportunity to train in a region of the country where a student has ties and/or desires to practice during their future career. There may be a tuition incentive for the years spent at the regional campus. Many will go on to practice in the local or surrounding communities. Those interested in spending their third and fourth year at the regional campus may indicate this interest on our secondary application. 

*Note: Selecting the regional campus is binding and, if accepted, requires matriculation to the regional campus  for the third and fourth years on condition that the student is in good academic and professional standing and on target to pass Step 1.*
