The program is an excellent preparation for biology or related careers.

Pre-Medical concentration -?prepares students for medical, dental, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic, and physician assistant graduate studies.? Biology students will work with a pre-professional advisor to select the electives best suited for the health professional program of their choice while also providing a well-rounded biology education.? This program has an embedded chemistry minor that meets the requirements of most U.S. medical schools.? The LSSU Biology department is recognized by all health professional schools in Michigan as a top rate biology program.

LSSU participates in the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine's Early Assurance Program. During their junior year, students who excel in the LSSU biology pre-medical program may apply to the College of Human Medicine, and selected students will be assured of admission and begin a relationship with MSU College of Human Medicine during their senior year of college.

Pre-Veterinary concentration?- with an embedded chemistry minor, prepares students to enter veterinary college after graduation from LSSU. It was designed to meet the specific requirements for the Michigan State University-College of Veterinary Medicine, but our students go to vet schools all over the country, for example North Carolina State, Oklahoma State and University of Illinois.? This program stresses not only academics, but also the animal care experience that is critical for gaining admission to a veterinary college.
