Course Overview

The biomedical sciences degree prepares students for advanced study in various areas of health care (e.g. medicine, dentistry, nursing, public health) or research. The diverse curriculum includes a broad array of elective courses and offers students career-relevant experiential learning opportunities where they can apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to real-world experiences. Comprehensive academic and faculty advising is complemented by a pre-medical/pre-health professions advising system that provides guidance to students in their selection of course work and in completing the requirements necessary for admission to advanced degree programs.

The bachelor of science degree in biomedical sciences consists of a life sciences core combined with a broad range of flexible elective options. The life sciences core provides students with a strong grounding in mathematics and science with a complement of liberal arts in preparation for a particular career path (e.g., entry into medical/dental school, graduate studies, or direct entry into a research position in an applied area of biomedical science). The program offers excellent undergraduate preparation for career fields such as medicine (allopathic and osteopathic), biomedical research, exercise science, pathology, pharmacy, pharmacology and drug development, toxicology, neuroscience, and genetic counseling. Recent graduates have gone on for advanced degrees in physician assistant, chiropractic medicine, nurse practitioner and prosthetic science. In consultation with an academic advisor and using a basic course schedule as a guideline, students may select from elective courses relevant to one of these career fields, or design their own set of science track electives approved by one of the program’s academic advisors.

Entry Requirement 

Admission Requirements:

For all bachelor’s degree programs, a strong performance in a college preparatory program is expected. Generally, this includes 4 years of English, 3-4 years of mathematics, 2-3 years of science, and 3 years of social studies and/or history.

Specific math and science requirements and other recommendations

  • 3 years of math is required. Pre-calculus is recommended
  • Biology and Chemistry required

The admission process, requirements, and guidelines are the same for all undergraduate students. As an international student you will also be required to demonstrate English language proficiency, and RIT will consider students at all levels of English language proficiency for admission.

You should  apply for undergraduate admission to be considered for these options:

  • Full university admission: If you meet English language proficiency standards, you will be considered for admission to the academic degree program you choose.
  • Conditional university admission: If you do not meet English language proficiency standards you will be considered for admission, and will need to complete additional courses through RIT’s English Language Center in addition to their academic degree program.
