Master’s Programs

Masters (MS/MBS) Programs: For some students, deciding whether to enter a clinical educational program or to commit to a lengthy Ph.D. program in biomedical sciences is often difficult and made with limited knowledge. Other students may be committed to a career in medicine or dentistry but have undergraduate academic records that are inadequate for acceptance into professional school. To meet the educational needs of both groups of students, we have designed a Masters Program in biomedical sciences that has a flexible curriculum, but is sufficiently structured to prepare students to make a more informed decision about their career path. Courses are offered in both day and evening to accommodate the needs of full and part-time students.

This program has proven useful for students interested in entering the pharmaceutical or biotech industry or a variety of careers ancillary to the biomedical sciences. The Masters program is also geared toward those seeking entrance into a medical/dental school. Students interested in this course of study are eligible to apply to take a maximum of two (2) medical or dental courses along with graduate courses.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION:
Applicants are evaluated on the basis of their undergraduate academic record, recommendations from two individuals knowledgeable of the student's academic potential, and scores on the GRE, MCAT or DAT. Applicants must possess a bachelor's degree and should have taken course work that demonstrates a good foundation in biology, general and organic chemistry, and physics.
