That's not entirely true. Michigan State University has two separate medical schools. The College of Human Medicine awards the M.D. degree, and the College of Osteopathic Medicine awards the D.O. degree. Students of both are eligible to sit for the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam and go on to residencies, fellowships, and board certification. I think there may be a few other institutions with similar arrangements. What makes UA distinctive is having two separately accredited allopathic (M.D.) medical schools. That is rare.
