U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges - Most Innovative 2024

The Pre-medical track in Biomedical Science has the same common core pre-requisites and core course requirements as our degree in Biomedical Science. However the track requires the SLS 2311 Selected Medical Careers course, ZOO 3733C Human Anatomy, PCB 3703C Human Physiology and we also strongly encourage other specific electives that can help student best prepare for application to medical schools.

Degree Requirements

  • Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.
  • Students should complete the General Education Program before transferring within the Florida College System or State University System.
  • Grades below "C" in Common Program Prerequisites, Core Requirements and Restricted Electives are not accepted.
  • Students in undergraduate majors within the College of Medicine are expected to consistently make good progress towards their degrees. Therefore, the COM/BSBS Progress Policy mandates that undergraduate students meet the requirements of the policy. Below are the specific requirements of the Progress Policy:
    • Students who earned 5 low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be placed on a probationary status. Students who earn 8 or more low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be excluded from all COM majors.
    • Students with 2 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be placed on a probationary status. Students with 3 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be excluded from all COM majors.
  • Students should consult with a BSBS academic success coach at least one time each semester.
  • Students in this program must maintain a minimum core science/math GPA of 3.0 to maintain status in the program. The courses including in this GPA include all courses in the Common Program Prerequisites, Core requirements (Advanced level) and Restricted electives. Students who are unable to maintain such GPA, the student will have to revert back into the Biomedical Sciences B.S.

While many students discover that they have interests in varied disciplines at the University of Central Florida, they are not permitted to pursue two majors within the College of Medicine. College of Medicine students may declare a major and a minor within the college or pursue a second major or minor in another academic college at UCF. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic success coach to discuss these opportunities.
