MANHATTAN, N.Y. & HOBBS, N.M. - EntSun -- University of the Southwest (USW)—a Hispanic-serving university in Hobbs, New Mexico—is collaborating with American University of Antigua College of Medicine (AUA) to offer USW students an expedited pathway to attend medical school.

Under this collaboration, students from USW who qualify academically will receive preferential admission to AUA's MD program. In addition, AUA will waive students' application fees and expedite admissions timelines to those who pursue this opportunity.

Founded under its current name in 1962, USW offers baccalaureate degrees in a variety of subjects, as well as an MBA and a Masters of Science in Education program.

"USW is thrilled to begin a new partnership with AUA," said Brian Arnold, USW Director of Counseling and Career Services and psychology instructor. "As admission to medical school is extremely competitive, we are grateful to now be able to provide an opportunity for preferential admission to AUA to our qualified graduates who are seeking a career in medicine."
