Undergraduate Degree Program

An undergraduate major in Biomedical Sciences is now being offered at Colorado State University, along with a minor in Biomedical Sciences.

What is Biomedical Sciences?
Biomedical Sciences is the broad field of applied biology as related to human/animal health and disease. It involves the study of structure and function from the molecular to systemic level. Biomedical Sciences students will complete upper-level coursework in human or animal gross anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology along with some directed biomedical sciences electives depending on interests and goals. Elective courses could include: neurobiology, endocrinology, pharmacology, cardiopulmonary physiology, advanced mammalian physiology, and animal/human anatomy dissection. Required courses in biological sciences, chemistry, physics, genetics, microbiology, and mathematics support the major.
