Robert Steele

"The College of Biosciences (COB) Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences is an amazing program that I can confidently say prepared me very well for medical school. You learn the material at such a deep level that when I saw it again, I thought to myself 'oh, I've got this!' Not only did it prepare me well with course material, I also learned the importance of discipline. The same strategies that contributed to my success in COB carried me through with only having to make a few minor adjustments here and there."

Robert Steele

"I was 100% prepared to enter medical school thanks to the biosciences program. My first six weeks of medical school, I felt pretty confident. Instead of getting slammed by the weight and volume of medical school, I had already seen the basic concepts in the biosciences program and could get into the nuance of the more complicated material.”
