Overview

Programme details

The Biomedical Sciences program of Rochester Institute of Technology 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.

Program Goals and Learning Outcomes

The biomedical sciences major has outlined the following program goals and student learning outcomes:
