THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

INSTANT ACCESS. You'll take courses as an undergraduate that most other research institutions limit to their graduate students. With work that includes histology, pharmacology and molecular pathology, you can develop an edge over your competition for admission to graduate and professional programs.

GET READY. This major, combining human health sciences with the university's distinctive courses in the humanities and social sciences, provides the intellectual tools and scientific proficiency you'll need to succeed in advanced studies in the health sciences.

OPEN WIDE. Thinking of heading off to dental school someday? Our pre-dental course offerings include hands-on experiences in dental techniques in introduction to dentistry as well as head and neck anatomy, oral histology, oral pathology and oral biology.

BECOME A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT. Biomedical sciences is the starting point for the PA program at Marquette.

POWERFUL COMBINATIONS. If you're looking for that "extra something" to set you apart from the crowd, consider linking this major with a minor in journalism, marketing, advertising or computer science. Your scientific expertise can give you an edge in these professional arenas — like writing for science and medical magazines, developing biomedical software programs or marketing pharmaceuticals.

CUTTING EDGE RESEARCH. As a biomedical sciences student, you can choose to work with internationally respected researchers tackling some of society's most pressing medical problems.
