Bachelor of Science in Biology (Pre-Medicine/Pre-Dentistry)

What I love about my degree program is the abundance of opportunities that I am able to have access to. My major slows me to be flexible it exactly what I want to do in the medical field while also having promising career opportunities the FAMU provides us with. It is also quite challenging with makes the winds that much more worthwhile, The program also has plenty of opportunities for students to find internships, job opportunities, etc. All of this makes for a great Biological Pre medical education program.

Being a Biology/Pre-Med major at Florida A&M University has given me a strong foundation in the sciences while preparing me for the rigor of medical school. The program challenges me to think critically, conduct research, and connect what I learn in the classroom to real-world healthcare settings. My inspiration comes from my childhood pediatrician, a compassionate and successful Black woman whose care showed me the impact a doctor can have on children’s lives. That experience motivated me to pursue pediatrics so I can make a similar difference—providing quality care, guidance, and hope to families and children in my community and beyond.

As a future OB/GYN, I am very fortunate to have a degree program that is full of other women who are seeking this career. The FAMU biology department has an extension of clubs and groups that helps bring fellow medical students together such as Minority Association of Pre-medical Students (MAPS) or Women in Pre-Med (WIPM). As far as academics, there is an array of science professors engaged in research which allows scholars a chance to explore the laboratory and get hands-on experience in their scientific interests. With the help of these organizations and our own advisor, I can succeed.
