Through these agreements, qualified students may be eligible for guaranteed interview opportunities for Midwestern University's professional programs or enhanced admissions pathways to select graduate programs, depending on the institution and program. Participating programs include osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, dental medicine, optometry, clinical psychology, nurse anesthesia, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant studies, speech-language pathology, cardiovascular science, podiatric medicine, veterinary medicine, and graduate studies.

Each agreement establishes academic and admissions benchmarks while maintaining Midwestern University's admissions standards. Requirements vary by institution and program and may include prerequisite coursework, minimum GPA requirements, standardized examinations where applicable, and demonstrated commitment to healthcare through clinical, service, or shadowing experiences.

These newest partnerships build upon Midwestern University's existing articulation agreements with Arizona Christian University, Arizona State University, Aurora University, Benedictine University, Bradley University, Elmhurst University, Fort Hays State University, Grand Canyon University, Greenville University, Lake Forest College, University of New Haven, and Wheaton College, reflecting the University's continued commitment to expanding access to healthcare education through strategic academic partnerships.
