Medical Sciences Field Of Emphasis emph
The Medical Sciences Field of Emphasis applies only to the Biology Major, B.S. This emphasis is neither a major nor minor, and further restricts the electives required for the Biology Major, B.S., degree. The selected courses prepare a student for entrance into professional medical programs.
Students planning to pursue professional medical programs should consult their Biology academic advisor early to assure appropriate preparation in areas not required for a Biology degree are included in their pre-professional academic program.
The student may substitute courses in the Medical Sciences Field of Emphasis for the required biology electives necessary to complete the Biology Major, B.S., degree.
