At LeTourneau University, students do more than learn biology in the classroom. Through extensive laboratory experiences, faculty mentorship, and opportunities for undergraduate research, they develop practical skills in scientific investigation, data analysis, and problem solving.
The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences provides a strong foundation for professional programs in healthcare and the life sciences. Students study human biology, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry, and related disciplines while developing the scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills needed for future success.
Biomedical scientists contribute to fields ranging from healthcare and medical research to biotechnology, public health, and laboratory sciences. Their work advances our understanding of human health and helps address challenges in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The Biomedical Sciences program is particularly well suited for students interested in medical, dental, pharmacy, veterinary, physician assistant, physical therapy, and other health-profession programs.
