Biomedical Sciences, Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
The Biomedical Sciences degree program is a rigorous program designed to prepare students for careers in biomedical research and a wide variety of biomedical professional programs. The Biomedical Sciences degree can be tailored to prepare students for graduate or professional schools, including but not limited to medical, dental, physician associates, optometry, and veterinary medicine. This degree will prepare students interested in pursuing a broad range of careers, including biotechnology, industrial microbiology, or pharmaceutical sales. The biomedical sciences degree provides students with a curriculum that develops strong creative and critical thinking skills while also providing them with the required and recommended courses for admission to graduate and professional schools.
Admission Requirements
All students must be admitted to the University by the EKU Admissions Office and declare their major as Biomedical Sciences (BMS). For admission to the BMS program, a high school graduate must meet the following three criteria:
- A Math ACT score of 23 (or equivalent SAT) or a “C” or better in MAT 112A Algebra: Polynomials/MAT 112B Algebra: Functions & Matrices or MAT 114 College Algebra
- An English ACT score of 20 (or equivalent SAT), or a “C” or better in ENG 101 Reading, Writing, and Rhetoric
- A High School GPA of a 3.0.
Individuals who are transfer students or wish to change their major must have attained a minimum GPA of 3.00 overall on a minimum of 24 hours attempted. Entering freshmen and transfer students who do not meet the minimum requirements are encouraged to enroll in the Biology BS Degree program with a General Biology Concentration until qualified to transfer into the program.
Progression Policy
The Biomedical Sciences degree program limits the number of major core, concentration, and supporting courses which may be repeated. Students are allowed only one repeat per major course and a total of not more than two repeats in all major courses combined. In addition, a supporting course may be repeated only once.
To remain in the Biomedical Sciences degree program, a student must maintain an EKU GPA and overall GPA of 3.0 with a grade of “C”/2.0 or better in each of the supporting and major courses of the curriculum. Students who fail to maintain a 3.0 GPA will be removed from the BMS program and placed in the Biology B.S. program, General Biology Concentration.
