Biomedical Sciences

Aiming for a career in health care? This is the program for you.

Study human and animal systems and their functions related to health, disease, and the healing process. Diversify your knowledge by learning about viruses, bacteria, and other microbes, and how these (along with genetic and environmental influences) can impact health.

Examine how the body ages, how disease and injury impact it, and what diagnostic tools can identify physiological problems. You’ll start with foundational courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and math that prepare you to meet the admission requirements of most health-related professional schools.

After first year, you’ll focus on human biology with courses in anatomy, physiology, histology, microbiology, and biochemistry. Add some complementary courses from science and related disciplines and then round out your degree with electives of your choice.

Biomedical Sciences offers a broad education, a wide variety of hands-on and communication skills, and a strong base of lab safety. You’ll graduate ready for a career in biomedical laboratory research, education, health professions, or industry.
