Biomedical Sciences
The Biomedical Sciences major is an interdisciplinary program combining core courses in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology and sociology. Students study the sciences from a life-oriented perspective and develop the scientific proficiency necessary for a career in a variety of health professions. The curriculum provides the prerequisites to enter medical, veterinary and other allied health professional schools after graduation. The course load allows students to double-major or minor in other fields of interest. In particular the curriculum is designed for pre-medical students and provides all the coursework necessary to apply to medical school. The core curriculum can be tailored in consultation with faculty in the Department of Natural Sciences for students wishing to enter other allied health fields or health-related employment after graduation. Participation in basic or clinical research is encouraged in preparation for post-baccalaureate study. An optional Thesis Track is available to Biomedical Sciences majors who conduct research over multiple semesters. Students choosing this option will graduate with honors in the major.
Successful completion of the thesis track will be noted on the student’s transcript.
