About the program
The mission of the Biomedical Sciences program from Marist College is to provide an outstanding and supportive educational environment in which students and faculty flourish as they seek to better understand the biological sciences and their practical applications.
Objectives
The Objectives of the Biomedical Sciences program are:
- To offer a diversity of courses with both breadth and depth through four areas of concentration.
- To prepare students to meet the prerequisite requirements to enter the various health professions ranging from medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatry, pharmacy, optometry, both physical and occupational therapy, physician assistant, and other allied health professions.
- To prepare students for entry into graduate programs in the biological sciences through course preparation and research opportunities.
- To prepare students to gain certification in secondary education in the biological sciences.
- To afford students the opportunity to gain the knowledge and training needed to enter into various professions in industry and research.
There are three curricular choices for students interested in biology. The Biology major offers a general curriculum for those who may be unsure of their future career path. The Biology Education major prepares students to be high school life science teachers. The Biomedical Sciences major is designed for students interested in medical and other health professional schools.
Biomedical Sciences
Students who wish to focus their undergraduate studies on preparation for medical, dental, veterinary, or other health professional schools should choose this major (although the Biology major is also an appropriate choice). Students complete a health-related internship and are strongly encouraged to take business and management courses to complement their scientific training.
