Minor in Biomedical Sciences

Program Contact: Thomas Martin 203-582-3368

The Department of Biomedical Sciences offers a minor in biomedical sciences, which provides students with a fundamental knowledge of the theories, principles and advances in these basic sciences. Completing this area of concentration may help students qualify for employment in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; the medical diagnostics industry; university-based biomedical research; and city, state and federal health/research laboratories or to continue their education in graduate/professional school. This concentration helps students develop critical thinking skills and understand and utilize modern research laboratory technologies.

Biomedical Sciences Minor Curriculum

The BMS minor consists of 20–24 credits (six classes), at least two of which must be lab-based, all with a grade of “C" or better. No more than two classes may be transferred in from other institutions. The same course cannot count toward a minor in microbiology and biomedical sciences.
