Undergraduate
The undergraduate curriculum is based on a two-semester foundations course and core courses that provide a well-rounded introduction to the major concentrations of biology. Concentration allows a student to focus on a particular area within biology.
The Biomedical Sciences major for undergraduate students within the Department of Biological Sciences at Old Dominion University is an exciting new major that will prepare students for careers that use cutting-edge biology to tackle biomedical challenges.
This undergraduate curriculum is an exciting new major that will prepare students for health and biomedical careers. This program can lead to medical school, pharmacy school, or many other professional and graduate programs in biomedical sciences.
Graduate
The curriculum for the Master of Science program is developed around one's interests such as: botany, ecology, immunology, infectious diseases, marine biology, microbiology, physiology, reproductive biology, systematic biology, and zoology. In addition, there are two specially designed concentration areas in “Medical Microbiology & Immunology” and “One Health”.
The primary goal of the doctoral program in ecological sciences is to provide advanced training in ecological, evolutionary and integrative biology. The program has notable strengths in a broad range of biological subdisciplines, including ecosystem studies, experimental ecology, population biology, conservation biology, systematics, evolutionary biology, biomechanics, and comparative and functional morphology.
Explore the dynamic field of biomedical sciences in this cutting-edge interdisciplinary doctoral program. Core coursework integrated with seminars and laboratory rotations expose students to the breadth of biomedical inquiry prior to pursuing advanced research concentrations.
