Duquesne University is allowed to begin recruiting students to its planned college of osteopathic medicine, a significant step toward opening in the fall of 2024. The college rising along Forbes Avenue on the Bluff now has pre-accreditation status from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, campus officials said Wednesday. The Catholic university plans to enroll 85 students next fall and grow yearly to 170 students starting in 2026. Duquesne hopes to enroll 680 students over all four years by the 2029-2030 school year.
