Why Study Biomedical Sciences at UWF?

Our program prepares you for admission to post-graduate health professional school, graduate school or the biotechnology industry. Students majoring in the biological sciences make up close to half of all students admitted to medical schools.

The degree fulfills the prerequisites for most national health professional schools such as dental, medical, pharmacy, physician assistant and veterinary medicine.

We believe in professional development and one-on-one faculty mentorship. Our faculty are committed to providing opportunities for undergraduates to engage in scientific research. Many students present papers at professional meetings and are included in authorship on scientific publications.
