Master of Science (M.S.) in Biomedical Sciences
The M.S. in Biomedical Sciences is a two year program structured around a core curriculum in biomedical sciences. The program provides foundational coursework in the areas of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, laboratory methodology, and biomedical research. Beyond providing the necessary coursework, the program emphasizes on fostering a superior and competitive training environment in diverse state-of-the-art research laboratories where students engage in a mentored research project.
Along with engaging in a mentored research project, during the second year, students have the opportunity to enroll in elective courses. Elective courses allow the students to explore specialized topics, recent advances, and current literature within the biomedical sciences field. Instruction in these areas is provided by expert researchers and educators affiliated with both the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) and the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine (PLFSOM).
