Biomedical Science (Podiatric Medicine) B.S.
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 make application 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 B.S. 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.
