 Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
This major is designed for people preparing for health professions, like medicine and dentistry, although those students may choose other majors instead and ensure they take all the courses within the Biomedical Sciences minor.
The Biomedical Sciences curriculum presents a liberal arts program with emphasis on those sciences required for an excellent background for subsequent studies in medicine, dentistry, and similar health professions. Recurrent pronouncements by Committees on Admissions at professional schools leave no doubt that they regard an education in the liberal arts as one of the most important factors in forming a genuinely capable and effective health professional, but majoring in biomedical sciences is not a requirement for admission to a health profession. (See Biomedical Sciences Minor or Pre-Medical Studies Certificate .) The student should consult a current listing of professional school admission requirements (below denoted with *, plus one year of college math) so that the selected course of study will assure the student of a degree and include all the minimum requirements for admission to those schools of medicine or dentistry to which he/she intends to apply.
“Medical School Admission Requirements,” published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, or “Admission Requirements of U.S. and Canadian Dental Schools,” published by the American Association of Dental Schools, or individual Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy, Optometry, Veterinary or other programs.
