BA/BS in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Other

The bachelor of science in biomedical science applies the biological sciences to improve human health and treat disease. It covers anatomy, physiology, genetics, cell and molecular biology, and specialized topics such as neuroscience, immunology, and histology. The degree prepares students for healthcare careers and provides groundwork for entry to medicine, dentistry, and other advanced study. Graduates who skip graduate study can find work in medical and research laboratories, hospitals, biotechnology firms, and pharmaceutical companies. Students begin with college biology and need adviser approval, and the program totals 120 credits. The published curriculum adds up to 120 semester credit hours. Prospective students are advised to review the official Utah Valley University program page for the current course list, advising contacts, and guidance on how to sequence classes, and should speak with a department adviser before planning a schedule or declaring the major.
