The Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences provides degree pathways for students interested in exploring the world through biology, chemistry, and/or physics. This degree serves students pursuing prerequisites for medical school, dental school, pharmacy school, dental hygiene school, veterinary school, optometry school, and physical therapy school, as well as students who are interested in a broad science education.
A strong emphasis is placed on experiential learning through project-based coursework, internships/collaborations with community and industry partnerships, virtual simulations, and hands-on experiments in the laboratory. Students are also afforded opportunities to job shadow, visit with professionals, and perform research relevant to their chosen career field.
Students who declare as a natural sciences (pre-med) major may be eligible for the Henderson-NYITCOM Pre-Med Pathway program. This program prepares students for admission to medical school at the NYITCOM at A-State with no Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores required. Learn more at hsu.edu/pre-med.
