How much does it cost to get a Biological & Biomedical Sciences degree?

In-state schools (where you are a resident) costs less than out-of-state schools. Private schools cost more than public institutions. Online schools are expensive. Given that the cost of tuition varies a great deal, it is not possible to predict the cost. Student loans are a matter of financial aid, which is granted based on need. You could have anywhere from 10-100% covered by federal student aid; you could also receive no aid. Make an appointment to talk to an admissions counselor to get a better understanding. You can also look at various schools on line for information about annual tuition. There are numerous degrees in the "biological and biomedical sciences." Decide what your career path is, then choose a degree accordingly.

Is a doctorate degree higher than a bachelor degree?

A bachelor's degree is received after 4 years (or so) of college. If you continue with college you can receive a master's degree (I believe its about 30 extra credits). You can continue with coarses and receive your doctoral degree and I'm not positive, but I think its 60 or 90 extra credits. The doctoral degree is higher.
