Considering a Career in Health Care?
If you’ve ever aspired to combine your unique interests and passions with a career of helping others, the Regis College Pre-Health Sciences Track is for you. At Regis, there are no set pre-health majors such as pre-med or pre-physical therapy. Rather, you’ll choose a major that aligns with your interests while also meeting the prerequisite requirements for your graduate health program ambitions. With the assistance of your designated pre-health advisor, you’ll choose the major that will best prepare you for entrance into professional school.
What is the difference between a B.S. and a B.A. in Biology?
The Bachelor of Science in Biology degree requires students to take an additional two semesters of Organic Chemistry, both the lecture and the lab, whereas the Bachelor of Arts in Biology does not. Students in the B.S. program are also required to take two semesters of physics, both the lecture and lab, whereas the Bachelor of Arts in Biology does not.
Students interested in medical school, dental school, Ph.D. programs, or any other professional program (i.e., PT programs or PA programs) are advised to pursue the B.S. degree because it ensures that students will complete all of their pre-requisite courses and will be ready to apply without having to take courses outside of their major.

- Completed online application
- Official high school transcripts
The first step in the application process is to contact an admissions counselor, who can help you through the entire application process, evaluate your prior learning credit (AP, IB, etc.) and provide information regarding financial aid and tuition assistance.
