Brown-Tougaloo Partnership

The Alpert Medical School's Early Identification Program (EIP) in Medicine offers Tougaloo pre-med students a route to apply for early admission. The EIP was responsible for 3% of the MD class of 2023. The program provides fee waivers, MCAT waivers, application support, and targeted recruiting on Tougaloo’s campus. The EIP continues to be a special highlight of the partnership as one of the longest standing active programs between the institutions.

The Graduate Teaching Exchange is designed to offer advanced doctoral candidates at Brown the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses for 1-2 semesters at Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Mississippi. The program aims to develop competency in undergraduate teaching, fully-immerse graduate students in faculty life, experience delivering instruction to a diverse student population in a rural, college setting, and to enhance core curricular offerings at Tougaloo College

The Brown-Tougaloo partnership in Public Health program is nestled in our Health Equity Scholars (HES) program. HES is a scholarship and leadership development opportunity for select students entering the Master of Public Health program at Brown. The Brown MPH is rooted in the University's tradition of academic excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration, much like the field of public health itself. In recent years, deep disparities in health systems and outcomes have become apparent, and the Health Equity Scholars program reflects Brown’s commitment to addressing these inequities. The Health Equity Scholars program offers full tuition support, a paid research assistantship, and structured mentoring and coaching.
