Biology Fields
Bio-Medical Science (Podiatric Medicine)
In cooperation with the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the department has an accelerated Biomedical Science program, which enables highly qualified students to complete a science-studies curriculum in three years and then apply to the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Upon completion of the first year of study at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the student is awarded a BS in Biomedical Science from St. Francis College. Then, after completing four years of study at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the student is awarded the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) from the College of Podiatric Medicine. This curriculum can be completed in seven rather than eight years.
Bio-Medical Science (Dentistry) In a cooperative effort with the New York University College of Dentistry, the department has a Biomedical Science program that enables qualified students to complete a science-studies curriculum in three years and then apply to the NYU College of Dentistry. Upon completion of the first year of study at NYU, the student is awarded a BS in Biomedical Science from St. Francis College. After completion of the fourth year of study at NYU, the student is awarded the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the NYU College of Dentistry. This curriculum can be completed in seven rather than eight years.
To be admitted to the dental college without the necessity of applying through the American Association of Dental School Application Services (AADSAS), students in this program must be recommended by St. Francis College, complete all prerequisite courses, have a GPA of 3.2 or better and take the DAT.
Medical Technology The program in Medical Technology prepares the student for acceptance into New York Methodist Hospital or St. John’s University Catholic Medical Centers of New York. Upon completion of clinical training, the student receives a BS in Medical Technology from St. Francis College and a certificate of program completion from the New York Methodist Hospital or the St. John’s University Catholic Medical Centers of New York.
