Biomedical Sciences (Minor)
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Program Description
The minor in Biomedical Sciences is designed for the life sciences major considering a pre-professional curriculum (pre-medical or pre-veterinary) or a career in biomedical research (graduate school). The minor comprises undergraduate courses taught primarily by faculty within the College of Veterinary Medicine in Animal Physiology and Microbiology and Immunology. The courses offered will provide depth and breadth in subject areas covered in the preclinical professional medical or veterinary curriculum. An important focus will be on animal and human disease processes, with an emphasis on animal physiology and infection biology.
All undergraduates focusing on life sciences (Biology majors are not eligible for this minor) are eligible to participate in this minor.
Minor Advisors will be available to provide guidance on career development of pre-professional undergraduates.
