The Biomedical Science Department's programs include a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences, a B.S. in Microbiology, and/or a M.H.S. in Biomedical Sciences. These programs are designed to help students gain a comprehensive understanding of life sciences, particularly human life sciences, and are a gateway to many exciting and meaningful career paths. The four general areas of study in the Biomedical Sciences curriculum are Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology, and Nutrition.   A Biomedical Sciences major consists of courses essential to prepare for professional school curriculum (medical, dental, osteopathic, veterinary, pharmacy, graduate), plus select electives necessary to provide educational breadth and maturity. 

Faculty in the Biomedical Science Department are involved in a wide variety of research projects, providing undergraduate and graduate students with numerous opportunities to gain real laboratory experience. Areas of research include bacterial genetics, cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, epidemiology, human anatomy, immunology, neuroscience, obesity, parasitology, physiological biochemistry, stem cell biology, toxicology, and more.

The Biomedical Sciences Department is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
