If you wish to further your medical education, you can minor in Medical Science (Pre-Med) or other approved departmental minor by selecting the minor instead of an emphasis.  The minor, along with the BSP degree, will provide you with the necessary foundation to be a strong candidate for graduate medical education programs and be eligible to apply to medical or physician assistant schools.
