Biomedical Sciences B.S.

The Biomedical Sciences B.S. is designed for students pursuing pharmacy as part of the 3+4 Accelerated/PharmD program on the Duluth campus. Students planning toward the 3+4 program are required to complete course work representing approximately three years of an undergraduate degree in the Swenson College of Science and Engineering (SCSE), including the advanced writing requirement, the UMD Liberal Education Program, all pre-pharmacy courses, and courses that ensure progress toward a Biology B.A. or B.S., plus the first year of pharmacy school.

Typical SCSE majors who may be interested in applying to the Biomedical Sciences B.S. to pursue the 3+4 Accelerated/PharmD program includes, but are not limited to, Biology B.A. Human Biology and Biology B.S. Cell and Molecular Biology. Completion of the requirements included in the Biomedical Sciences B.S. ensures a student is making progress toward a Biology degree if they are no longer pursuing pharmacy. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with a Biology faculty advisor or the SCSE Advising Director.
