Students who earn a Bachelor of Science (BS) in University Studies with a concentration in Biomedical Sciences, are able to tailor their undergraduate coursework to align with future personal and career objectives. Specific requirements, course offerings, and restrictions exist for this degree.
The degree program offers a number of unique features:
- Foundational knowledge: The biomedical sciences concentration provides students with a firm grasp of the basic aspects of biomedical sciences including biology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
- Interdisciplinary study: Students pursue two minors that involve coursework in other Texas A&M colleges and departments. Students are encouraged to identify minors that complement the biomedical sciences concentration and reflect their individual interests and strengths.
- Flexibility for the future: Students who earn this degree find they have flexible options after graduation since they are prepared to pursue a wide range of careers and graduate programs.
The University Studies degree format was created to provide students the flexibility to combine areas of study that are of special interest.
