Schedules & Locations
 
At most universities we offer two options, a "long track" and a "short track." The short track begins in January, lasts for approximately 5 months, and prepares you for a May exam. The long track allows you to start during fall semester, study for 6 to 9 months, and take any spring exam. Click on the "When Should I Start" link on the navigation bar for help deciding which program will work best for you.

Important Class Scheduling Notes
  • All 32 Classroom Sessions are offered multiple times during the winter/spring. Thus, if you can't make the fall schedule work, or if you miss the occassional class, you will still have ample opportunity to make them up later.
  • Because the Classroom Sessions continuously cycle and are not sequential, each student may not need to be attending classes during the entire time period indicated--only until he or she has been to each of the 32 unique sessions at least once.
  • The one-on-one approach to covering the materials allows great flexibility in start dates for specific students. The "long track" and "short track" described here are simply the study schedules employed by most students.
  • If none of the classroom times listed fit your schedule, please give us a call. We are frequently adding sections or adjusting start times to accomodate student needs.

 

Summer Full-Immersion MCAT Course

Each summer we offer an intensive, full-immersion MCAT course in Salt Lake City, or Provo, UT. This highly-accelerated version of our regular Dual-Focus MCAT Course covers the same curriculum, the same number of tutoring sessions, and the same 32 interactive classroom sessions all in 2 months time instead of the 5-9 months used to accomplish those same activities during our regular courses. It is truly a full-immersion course--meaning students will live, eat and breath MCAT for 8-9 hours per day, 5 days per week. This course is primarily designed to make it possible for students around the country who do not have an Altius location near them to come to Provo or Salt Lake for the summer and have the full Altius experience. Affordable temporary housing is available for out-of-town students. The total cost of our course is only our normal tuition fee, plus a very modest housing cost. Compare this with other summer MCAT courses that cost $8,000-12,000.

Sample Schedules

The following links visually outline in calendar form the most common "tracks" or timing/scheduling options for completing the Altius MCAT program. Remember, however, that flexibility is one of the key benefits of the Altius program. We can custom-design a program to meet almost any student's needs.
