The Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) track, with the proposed Minors (Biomedical Science, Environmental Microbiology, Forensic Biosciences), is a comprehensive track with a broad science background that prepares students and provides the flexibility to take advantage of a range of careers requiring a strong science related curriculum. For qualified and highly motivated CMB students, we also offer a pathway to graduate in three years.
By providing students with a strong foundation of knowledge, a carefully constructed laboratory course sequence, and an exciting set of unique upper-level course options, the CMB bioscience core and biomedical electives helps prepare students for entry into medical, dental, or other professional school programs (please refer to individual professional school programs for their specific requirements). All these experiences are contained within the single, comprehensive major in CMB that is designed to prepare graduates with knowledge and skills for immediate employment in biotechnology, biomedical engineering, genetic counseling, forensics, biopharmaceuticals, and various health fields. They also provide for an excellent preparation for students who seek admission into graduate (for example, biomedical engineering, genetic counseling, public health) and professional programs.
