Concentration in Biomedical Science
Students must earn a "C" or better in each course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement.
NOTE: Due to the significant overlap, ¼ø»Æʦapp may not double concentrate in Biology and Biomedical Science.
Overview
The biomedical science concentration is designed for those ¼ø»Æʦapp who wish to go on to graduate school, medical school, or who desire to work for biotech firms, government agencies, or other organizations in the biomedical field.
