Biomedical Science focuses on the understanding of basic biological problems and how they relate to human health and medicine. Many students aspiring to obtain admission to healthcare related professional schools such as Medicine, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, Optometry, Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, or those who wish to pursue a career in research, enroll in biomedical science programs. Graduates are also prepared for careers in biotechnology and can find employment in academic/research institutions and related industry.

Students interested in biomedical sciences first register in a common core of courses. These courses are designed to allow students to select a field of study prior to the third year of study.
