Biomedicine

Biomedicine applies life science to clinical practice, research and technology.

At Kean, our biomedicine degree provides a strong foundation in the biomedical sciences utilizing an integrated curriculum of science and mathematics, including all prerequisite coursework to prepare for  medical, dental or veterinary school admissions tests and requirements for doctoral programs in biomedicine. 

You will be prepared to have a rewarding career in medicine and healthcare, whether it’s by  conducting research to develop groundbreaking medicines, treatments and procedures; advancing medical science and technology; reducing the spread of communicable diseases or treating patients with debilitating diseases.

Kean biomedicine graduates are working in hospitals and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies throughout the country, advancing science and contributing to excellence in research, clinical practice and patient care.
