Pre-med Track
Traditionally,
the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree has been offered as an excellent
entry degree into a second profession such as medicine. Competition for
medical school positions has escalated due to the rising number of
students interested in medicine. Students must distinguish themselves
not only with excellent grades but also through completion of a
rigorous preparatory track.
The Biosystems Engineering (BE) pre-med track has been developed to
prepare students for entry into medical schools. Completion of the BE
pre-med track not only provides students with the necessary biological
basics, but also helps them develop excellent problem solving skills.
The BE B.S. degree (ABET accredited) can be taken in conjunction
with other areas of strength (e.g., biology, chemistry, biochemistry
microbiology, plant physiology, etc.) to create a unique
specialization. Students completing their study in the BE pre-med track
satisfy all of the requirements for acceptance into medical school at
the University of Arizona and for the majority of medical schools in
the United States.
BE pre-med track graduates have exceptionally high acceptance rates to medical school.
