Through a four-year plan developed in consultation with an academic advisor, students develop a program of elective coursework in a variety of subjects individualized to their career goals.

Specific requirements of particular post-graduate institutions should be ascertained early in the undergraduate program because they may require courses for admission beyond the minimum required for the B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. The Major in Biomedical Sciences is not open to students majoring in Biology, Biological Sciences/Pre-vet, Biochemistry, Biopharmaceutical Sciences, or Chemistry.
