University Studies

The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences offers a degree in University Studies with a Biomedical Sciences Concentration. A University Studies degree differs from a traditional “major” in that it consists of a concentration and two minors of 15-18 hours each. 

The degree program offers a number of unique features:

  • Foundational knowledge: The biomedical sciences concentration provides students with a firm grasp of the basic aspects of biomedical sciences including biology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
  • Interdisciplinary study: Students pursue two minors that involve coursework in other Texas A&M colleges and departments. Students are encouraged to identify minors that complement the biomedical sciences concentration and reflect their individual interests and strengths.
  • Flexibility for the future: Students who earn this degree find they have flexible options after graduation since they are prepared to pursue a wide range of careers and graduate programs.

The University Studies degree format was created to provide students the flexibility to combine areas of study that are of special interest. The careers pursued by University Studies-Biomedical Sciences graduates are as varied and diverse as the students who pursue the degree.
