Licenciatura en Ciencias Biomédicas (Pre-Med) - Residencial

Residential Pre-Med Program

The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences (Pre-Med) program at Liberty University is designed to prepare students for medical school, pharmacy school, dental school, physician assistant school, and related medical fields.

With broad coverage of cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, and advanced human anatomy and physiology, the Pre-Med program is intentionally aimed at maximizing your performance on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Each year a high percentage of our students are admitted into medical schools (75% in 2018). While students interested in research have the option to take advanced courses with labs, several lecture-only courses (such as clinical anatomy and advanced physiology) were created specifically for this program.

In addition to our rigorous courses, the student-led Pre-Med Honors Society regularly invites local physicians to speak to students and holds special meetings with Kaplan representatives. Most medical schools seek more than a strong academic record from their applicants; they like to see a demonstrated desire to practice medicine, altruism, and good character. Liberty University provides numerous opportunities to participate in medical mission trips, shadow local doctors, acquire internships (including our Washington, DC and New York City Felllowships, and perform community service.

Students who are interested in becoming a physician’s assistant should take BIOL 214 & 216 labs.

The B.S. in Biomedical Sciences (Pre-Med) is offered through the Department of Biology & Chemistry.

Who We Are

In 1971, the Rev. Dr. Jerry Falwell dreamed about making the world a better place. He envisioned a generation of professionals in every field who loved God, served others, and were the best at whatever they were called to be. He saw a university on a mountain where this training could happen—and he started to build it. Less than 50 years later, Liberty University is a world-class accredited evangelical liberal arts institution with 17 colleges and schools, over 100,000 students, and 600+ programs of study from the certificate to the doctoral level.

Liberty is an innovative pioneer in distance education!
