The Biomedical Science program is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers by focusing on fundamental concepts in biological sciences as they apply to human and animal health, medicine, and disease. The BMS major encompasses three options: medical laboratory sciences (MLS), medical microbiology (MM), and medical and veterinary sciences (MVS). Each of the options in the BMS major is based on solid foundational and advanced courses in chemistry and the biological sciences. BMS:MLS focuses on the laboratory diagnosis of human disease, BMS:MM focuses on infectious agents and host response, and BMS:MVS focuses on health and manifestations of disease in animals, including humans.
The Biomedical Science degree is outstanding academic preparation for:
- Medical and veterinary schools, M.S. and Ph.D. programs, physician assistant programs
- Certification as a medical laboratory scientist
- Research scientist/laboratory technician positions in hospitals, government labs, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies.
