CAGS Biomedical Science General Studies
This CAGS is designed for those students who desire to strengthen their academic acumen in the Biomedical sciences in preparation for admission to a health professional program.
The ideal student is one who has successfully completed the first foundational year of studies at PCOM (GA, SGA, PA) and has completed, or is currently pursuing, a MS degree in a second year concentration other than General Studies.
A CAGS in General Studies will only be granted to students who successfully complete a MS degree in Biomedical Sciences at PCOM
