Do you love all things science-related? A major in biology with an emphasis in biomedical sciences is broad enough for you to pursue several career paths. If you already know what you want to specialize in, you're in luck! Keep reading to learn about your options.
We believe students should be able to tailor their education to their specific interests. That's why we offer specializations in the pre-chiropractic, pre-dentistry, pre-medical, pre-optometry, pre-physician assistant and pre-veterinary tracks.
You may be wondering what you'll learn in this program. Three areas of focus include human anatomy, the positioning, structure and function of bones, muscles and organs within the human body; human physiology, the study of the interrelationship between organs and organ systems; and other fundamentals of the physical and life sciences.
You'll also have access to top-notch resources and support along the way. Northwest's award-winning Dean L. Hubbard Center for Innovation has more than $3 million invested in state-of-the-art lab equipment that you'll use regularly. Having trouble in your chemistry class? No problem. The Student Success Center is here to offer you academic support! We're here for you, Bearcat.

“One of the biggest transferrable skills I got from Northwest to go forward in my career is lab experience. I have done multiple techniques in my upper-level courses that other students in larger universities don't have the opportunity to do.” — Jordan Unger
The Garrett-Strong Science Building offers 26 labs where students can gain profession-based experiences on campus. This facility also houses a synthetic cadaver, an aquarium and two museums that feature living animals such as a hedgehog, rats, iguanas and more!
We understand college is a big investment. Why not attend a school that is invested in you?
