Education and Training
Your pathway from classroom to career.
Your education in Biomedical Sciences blends rigorous coursework with hands-on experiences that bring science to life. From labs and research to internships and career-focused support, you’ll learn by doing.
If you want a flexible major that helps prepare you for medical school or dental school, or you’re thinking about a career (or graduate school) in something related to bio and medicine, you’re in the right place. UB’s biomedical sciences program is for students who love biology and want to learn from experts in lots of different areas.
As one of our students said, “It gives you a path to go down, but it’s not overly strict.” Sound interesting? Keep reading.

Opportunities for Customization
After completing core courses, you’ll shape your experience with electives that match your goals and interests. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in research, internships, or capstone projects.
Outside the Classroom
Biomedical discovery happens through experience, and so should your education.
You’ll have opportunities to apply what you learn in real-world settings through:
- Undergraduate research: Join faculty-led projects in molecular pharmacology, infectious disease, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and more.
- Internships: Gain applied experience in hospitals, public health agencies, biotechnology firms, or clinical and research laboratories.
- Community engagement: Participate in biomedical science clubs, professional organizations, and student-driven symposia that foster collaboration and leadership.
These experiences help you translate theory into practice while building confidence and professional connections.
