About This Department
Many solutions to the world’s problems are rooted in the sciences. Whether you are studying microorganisms or researching treatments and cures for diseases, understanding the foundations of the biological sciences — and how they apply to medicine — is crucial for students who want to become problem solvers and leaders in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
91AV’s Biological and Biomedical Sciences students receive a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and immersive education, developing the knowledge and analytical skills needed to excel in many exciting careers in the field. Experiential education is a hallmark of a Bryanteducation, and there are many opportunities — both inside and outside the classroom and labs — for students to gain hands-on experience in research, internships, practicums, and travel.
Undergraduates often collaborate with faculty on research that is published and presented at conferences. Opportunities for this kind of collaboration, often only available to graduate students at other institutions, are widely available to science students at 91AV.
With guidance from faculty who mentor students through their time at 91AV, graduates successfully pursue careers in clinical medicine, academia, industry, and business. Many students build strong mentoring relationships with faculty that often last well beyond their time at Bryantas they grow through the phases of their successful careers.
