Prepare for a future in healthcare with a Biomedical Science major that dives into the biological systems behind human health. Whether you’re aiming for medical school or a career in the health professions, this degree gives you a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, sociology, and psychology—key areas for understanding patient care and medical advancements. From your first year, you’ll gain hands-on research experience through labs, independent studies, and summer projects, with the option to count up to three research hours toward your degree. Plus, you can tailor your studies with concentrations in pre-med, pre-veterinary science, or research and development, ensuring you’re ready for the next step in your career. Biomedical science students gain practical experience through hands-on research, faculty mentorship, and real-world applications of their studies: Faculty-led research – You’ll have chances to collaborate with faculty in research labs, allowing you to earn course credit while developing technical skills and contributing to ongoing scientific discoveries. One-on-one mentorship – Students receive personalized guidance from faculty mentors, helping them navigate research projects, career paths, and professional development opportunities. Research publication and presentations – Students have the opportunity to publish their research or present at professional conferences, building credibility and expanding their academic and professional networks. Senior capstone project – All Biology students complete an independent research project in their senior year, applying their knowledge to real-world biomedical challenges. This experience strengthens critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills essential for graduate school, medical school, or careers in biomedical research. Networking and professional development – Students connect with peers and professionals through Tri-Beta Honor Society and the Biology Undergraduate Society, gaining access to career resources, guest lectures, and networking events.
