providing students with the pre-professional training required
for entrance into schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, optometry, nursing, physical therapy, engineering,
medical technology, pharmacy, and allied public health fields;
preparing students to enter the teaching profession in
science education;
preparing students for graduate study in biotechnology,
