Biology Degree Options

Pre-Health Professions Option -

Our Pre-Health Professions Option is designed for students (like you?) who want to enter a health professions career.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences from MTU automatically meets the entrance requirements for all medical, dental, veterinary, and pharmacy schools in Michigan and for most such schools in other states as well. In fact, all of the entrance requirements for all health professions schools nationwide (except for some physical therapy and physician assistant programs) can be met through this option.

Since your degree is in Biological Sciences rather than pre-med, you'll find yourself fully qualified to enter graduate school in biology should your career interests change.

Besides the biology core course requirements, you'll need courses in:

Biomedical ethics Sociology Psychology Small business management Neuromuscular physiology Cardiopulmonary physiology Hematology Parasitology Human nutrition

You'll work closely with your advisor, tailoring your studies to the specific requirements of your chosen pre-health field.
