In addition to the Biomedical Sciences major requirements, students may elect to complete coursework in an interdisciplinary study program or an undergraduate minor depending on specific career goals and interests.
Interdisciplinary Studies Programs
An interdisciplinary studies program is a specified series of courses focused
upon a particular area of concern providing insight from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives. Credits earned in these courses can be used in meeting the
requirements for a degree.
Completion of requirements for an interdisciplinary studies program is noted on the student's academic record (transcript) but not on the diploma. The minimum number of credits in an undergraduate interdisciplinary studies program is 20.
Minors
Minor programs of study are optional and are offered by certain departments.
A minor consists of a minimum of 21 specified credits of course work outside
the major. A minimum of 12 of the 21 credits must be course work at the
upper-division level (300-400) and a minimum of 12 credits must be from
course work within the department offering the minor.
A complete list of minors offered can be found in the General
Catalog. The minor Programs
of Study can be located within the particular College/Department in
which it is offered.
