If I get a Bachelor's in biology, can I get a Master's and PhD in biomedical science?

Hi Katia,

To find out, I would research the grad schools that have biomedical science as a master and see what the requirements are. They will list all acceptable majors and coursework they expect grad students to have completed.

Hope this helps!

as a high school student who wants to be a biomedical researcher, you begin now with all science related classes available to take now. also now go online and apply for online classes while in high school if you are financially able to pay for immediate college classes during the summer to give you ahead start now.

please take this course https://www.coursera.org/learn/genes

( please take a look at https://www.coursera.org )

11th grade begin your College Course Classes on weekends at your community college

Associate in Applied Science in Biotechnology Degree 2 years

Biotechnology - A.A. Degree (Transfer)

Job demand is growing in the emerging biotech field that harnesses life sciences to develop breakthrough products and technologies that enrich our lives and the health of our planet.
Biotechnology involves the use of microorganisms or biological substances to solve problems, make useful products, or perform specific industrial or manufacturing processes. Applications include the production of pharmaceuticals, synthetic hormones, and bulk foodstuffs, as well as the bio conversion of organic waste and the use of genetically altered bacteria in the cleanup of oil spills. This associate degree transfer program prepares students for continued study at a four-year institution and a career in a government laboratory, pharmaceutical firm, or bio engineering laboratory setting.

Develop innovations in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields with an online bachelor's degree in biotechnology.

Professionals in biotechnology come up with answers to a host of humanity's problems—from Ebola to failing crops. With a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Technical and Professional Studies in biotechnology from University of Maryland University College, you can become a part of the solution.

For this program, you are required to have already gained technical and scientific knowledge of biotechnology through transferred credit and direct experience in the field.

The major combines laboratory skills and applied coursework, with a biotechnology internship experience and upper-level study, and helps prepare you to enter the pharmaceutical, agricultural, or biomedical research industries and organizations as a laboratory technician, quality control technician, assay analyst, chemical technician, or bio-informatician.

Courses in the Major Electives General Education Requirements
Inquiries in Biological Science (3 Credits, BIOL 325)

The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) Degree

UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO

Coupling research in molecular biology with business fundamentals

PSMs are graduate programs in which students pursue advanced training in the sciences while developing highly sought-after business skills. Each PSM degree is developed in concert with employers as preparation for science-based careers in innovative organizations and industries. Since most biologists are trained with few or no business tools, the PSM offers more versatile training than a traditional Master of Science degree.

program is a two-year, four-semester interdisciplinary program that provides students with a multi-disciplinary background that integrates scientific, business, and ethical aspects of biotechnology. The program is intended for students who do wish to pursue a PhD but still seek a career in the industry. The curriculum focuses on a combination of biotechnology-related and MBA-level business courses.

Yes, you can. Most schools require major coursework in biology to be eligible for these advanced degress.

I would take a look at some PhD programs that interest you, and see what their admission requirements are. You can also look for professors whose research interests you, and see what their grad students majored in, or write to the professors. Although I'm inclined to think that you will not have an issue getting accepted to a PhD program in biomedical engineering with an undergrad degree in biology.
