College of Osteopathic Medicine FAQs

Everything you need to know about starting your journey at Xavier University's College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, is on track to welcome its inaugural class of medical students in Fall 2027.

Xavier University College of Osteopathic Medicine (XUCOM) is currently in pre-accreditation status with the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA), reflecting the program's progression through the formal accreditation process.

Xavier will be in pre-accreditation status with COCA until the first class of D.O. students graduate in 2031. 

XUCOM is supported by Xavier University, which is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a regional accreditation body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, and approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE).

XUCOM participates in the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS). Applicants will submit a primary application through AACOMAS, followed by a school-specific secondary application upon invitation.
Yes. Xavier students can secure conditional acceptance to the D.O. program as early as their sophomore year through our streamlined Undergraduate Pathway.

XUCOM utilizes a holistic admissions process, meaning we evaluate an applicant’s experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics in combination. While there are no rigid minimum cut-off scores for cumulative GPA, science GPA or the MCAT, applicants are expected to be competitive within their respective cohort pool. View our D.O. Admission Requirements page for more information. 

XUCOM provides guaranteed clinical rotations within the Greater Cincinnati area. We have established strong partnerships with local healthcare networks and hospital systems, ensuring students complete their core clerkships locally without the need to relocate across the state or country.
Students train in a brand-new, state-of-the-art, 130,000-square-foot medical school building on Xavier's campus in Cincinnati, Ohio. The facility features a high-tech simulated hospital with 16 exam rooms, 5 flexible simulation rooms, a 200-seat lecture hall and a unique teaching kitchen designed to integrate nutrition science into patient care education.

I want graduates of our medical school to leave with excellent quality medical care and a heart for compassion and service.
