Overview

The Biomedical Sciences program of the University at Buffalo requires that students take several core courses that are traditionally considered prerequisites for professional programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry and veterinary medicine. These courses are also generally required for admission to most graduate programs in various health science disciplines.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of all requirements, the student will have knowledge to:

Demonstrate mastery of basic knowledge in mathematics, natural sciences and biomedical sciences

Participate in experiential learning opportunities (leadership, research, internships, study aboard, outreach and service)

Demonstrate preparation for graduate (Master’s, PhD) and professional programs (medical, dental, optometry, physician assistant)

Gain a comprehensive knowledge underlying concepts of health and disease in preparation for careers in the biomedical sciences

Exhibit a broad knowledge of interdisciplinary topics within the field of health and social sciences comparable to other programs across the country

Careers

Employment opportunities are abundant. The United States Department of Labor Occupational Outlook 2012-22 reports shows a better than average job growth in the medical professions for graduates with a bachelor's degree. The number of science-related jobs in sales, marketing, and research management, for which non-PhDs usually qualify, is expected to be bountiful. Graduates may fill positions as science or engineering technicians, health information technologists, medical assistants and technicians.

Other positions that are expected to become increasingly available include medicine and health science managers, biological and medical scientists, life science teachers, post-secondary and secondary teachers, health practitioners and technicians, physician assistants, writers and editors. Note that chiropractors, physicians, podiatrists, medical scientists, biological scientists, college and university faculty are among the fastest growing occupations.

General requirements

Admission to UB’s freshman class is selective and is based in part on the quality of your secondary school academic record and the number of spaces available in the class

You should feel confident applying to UB if you have an above-average academic record and have taken challenging courses in high school to help prepare you to be successful at university

UB uses a 4.0 grading scale and we expect students applying here to have the equivalent of a 3.0 on that scale. That is the same as a grade of B or 83 on a 100-point scale
