Biomedical Sciences, Minor

Chairperson: David Baker, Ph.D.
Department of Biomedical Sciences website

The biomedical sciences minor is designed to enable students in a variety of majors to explore human- and medically-oriented courses in areas such as anatomical sciences, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, neuroscience, pathology, pharmacology and physiology. The minor enhances students' preparation for a variety of careers and/or graduate study in health-related professions and enriches undergraduate students involvement in biomedical science research.

Overlap Limit

The Biomedical Sciences minor requires 9 unique credits (credits not used to satisfy requirements for a different major/minor). Cognate requirements are not considered when examining overlap of majors or minors. At least nine credit hours in the minor must be completed at Marquette.

Requires 18 credit hours. All courses in the minor must be completed with grades of C- or higher and an overall grade point average of 2.000.
