Post-Graduation
Upon entering
the university, students must be aware that there is nothing to
guarantee employment upon graduation. However, the depth of
training in the sciences and emphasis on the application of
knowledge to health problem solving does help to enable Biomedical
Science graduates to secure productive careers in a wide variety of
biomedical endeavors encompassing both human and veterinary
medicine.
Opportunities fall into three major categories as follows:
Professional
School Preparation
Biomedical Science graduates enter schools of human medicine,
veterinary medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, podiatry, and law. All
of the preprofessional course requirements for any of these can be
completed while registered in the Biomedical Science
curriculum.
Texas Professional Schools
Texas has the distinction of having a large number of world
class health professional schools, colleges and programs.

Allied Health
School Preparation
Students and graduates complete the basic course work required
by allied health schools and related training programs. Such
schools and programs include nursing, medical technology, pharmacy,
optometry, physical therapy, dental hygiene, radiation technology,
health care administration, medical transcription, occupational
therapy, recreation therapy, and dietetics. In the interest of time
and efficient use of credit hours, students should have their
vocational goals identified no later than the end of the freshman
year and preferably on entry into college work.
Texas Allied Health Schools
Texas has a large number of allied health science
programs/schools. Such schools and programs include nursing,
medical technology, pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy,
chiropractic, dental hygiene, radiation technology, health care
administration, medical transcription, occupational therapy,
recreation therapy, and dietetics.

Graduate Study
Preparation
A baccalaureate degree is insufficient for a full and satisfying
career for many people. Additional formal education and training is
desired and often required. Postgraduate education is built on
sound undergraduate study. The Biomedical Science curriculum
provides a superior option in preparation for graduate study in a
wide range of fields in the life sciences. Graduates can earn
master of science (M.S.) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees
in preparation for productive careers in research and teaching, as
well as employment in industry and government.
Texas Graduate Schools of Biomedical Sciences
Texas has a number of graduate education programs/ schools in
biomedical sciences. Graduates can earn master of science (M.S.)
and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in preparation for
productive careers in research and teaching, as well as employment
in industry and government.
