The Perfect Place for Learning
At MUA, we’ve combined a systems-based U.S. curriculum with the time-tested belief that students learn best in small classes, where they can interact one-on-one with their professors. Those small classes also help create the strong feeling of community and collaboration that runs through everything we do at MUA, from the classroom to the clinicals and beyond.

The personalized attention that comes with small class sizes isn’t just something you’ll feel during your Basic Sciences education. You’ll feel it during your clinical rotations as well, where MUA is able to offer a level of oversight and guidance that simply isn’t possible at bigger schools—and it’s a key reason our graduates achieve top residencies.
