Since September 1961, fifteen classes have matriculated in Boston University's Six- Year College of Liberal Arts--Medical Education Combined Degree Program. The applicant pool is approximately three to four times larger now than in the earlier years, with classes averaging 50 students. Academic qualifications (high-school class rank and Scholastic Aptitude Test and College Board Achievement Test results) of the entering classes have been at a consistently high level. Fifty percent or more of the graduates receive the BA degree with honors; 10% or more receive the MD degree with honors. The degree of flexibility in the liberal arts component of the program has increased and currently exceeds that of the traditional four-year premedical curriculum. These data, together with additional information concerning postgraduate professional activities, indicate that the combined accelerated program has been successful.
自1961年9月以来，已有十五个班级进入波士顿大学的六年制文理学院——医学教育联合学位项目。现在的申请人数比早期大约多三到四倍，每个班级平均有50名学生。入学班级的学术资格（高中班级排名、学术能力测试和大学理事会成就测试成绩）一直处于较高水平。50%或更多的毕业生以优异成绩获得文学学士学位；10%或更多的毕业生以优异成绩获得医学博士学位。该项目人文学科部分的灵活性有所提高，目前超过了传统的四年制医学预科课程。这些数据，连同有关研究生专业活动的其他信息，表明联合加速项目是成功的。
