The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree combines core courses in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, psychology, and sociology. The curriculum is designed for pre-med students and provides all the coursework necessary to apply to medical school. The course-load allows students to double-major in other fields, such as psychology, theatre, or dance.
