BS Biomedical Sciences

The Biomedical Sciences curriculum provides an academic background and experience for a career in biomedical research or in the medical sciences. The curriculum requires the essential courses and the research experience necessary to train the student for further work at the graduate level or as a technician in research institutions or in industry. Central to the curriculum are five required research courses. The first provides an introduction to the research lab and techniques. The second and third semesters of research work together to provide an opportunity for a yearlong project. In the second semester the student will write a proposal and begin the work. In the third semester, the student will bring the project to a level of completion, write, and present that work. The fourth and fifth semesters work similarly. The second project may be a continuation of the first project and may be conducted under the guidance of the same mentor.
