Biomedical Science Program Description
Supporting McDaniel’s commitment to excellence in the sciences and professional studies, the proposed Biomedical Science major is an interdisciplinary major that will encompass many of the core classes required for students in the medical field (e.g. pre-med/DO, pre-dental, pre-vet). This major will be recognizable enough to attract the growing number of students in all of the health care fields listed above and have an interdisciplinary core that provides the foundation for each of these fields allowing students to obtain the knowledge necessary for standardized exams to gain admission and succeed in the respective secondary school and beyond.
