College of Science
Biological sciences students use high-tech equipment to explore medical sciences, such as Hispanic cancer disparities within the Border Biomedical Research Center, in preparation for studies in medicine, animal sciences, pharmacy, dentistry or research. Students can choose from a B.S. or B.A. degree, which requires language coursework and a non-science minor.
With the B.A. option, combine biological sciences interest with the arts, business or biomedical engineering
Daniella C. Sisniega, M.D., said she was “never let down” by UTEP and its Medical Professions Institute. The MPI helped prepare Sisniega to be accepted to the Boston University School of Medicine Early Medical School Selection Program. She earned her medical degree there in 2018.
The biological sciences program prepares graduates to teach biology, conduct research or practice medicine, among other fields. A major in biology also prepares students for professional schools and graduate studies.
