Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biomedical Sciences] From Montana State University

The curriculum provides the opportunity to take the courses necessary to make a competitive application to health profession school, graduate school or to obtain a technical position. The curriculum has sufficient breadth to introduce the student to a wide range of disciplines, but is flexible enough so that students can focus, in their last two years, on areas of specific interest. Students interested in a career in a health science profession should consult the Health Professions Advising Office for information regarding admission to professional schools.
Employment opportunities, especially at the technical level, are available with a B.S. in Cell Biology and Neuroscience. However, this curriculum is designed to better prepare students for professional or graduate training.The biomedical sciences curriculum is designed to allow the students to take basic courses in physical sciences while tailoring the courses in life sciences to meet their personal objectives and interests. This is done by allowing 24 of the required credits in Biology to be elective credits in life sciences; biology, biochemistry, microbiology, or other appropriate fields. Advanced students are strongly encouraged to enroll in undergraduate research. This provides an opportunity to gain valuable experience in biomedical research which is extremely useful for both an appreciation of the research effort required in graduate school and for gaining experience in technical methods for a technical position.
