Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences Curriculum
All students in the master of science in biomedical sciences degree programs, whether in the non-research or research track, will be full-time students, unless specifically approved to be part-time. The non-research track requires the completion of 33 semester credits, is more classroom intensive and does not involve conducting original research. The research track requires the completion of approximately 60 semester credits, which includes courses and a thesis based upon the results of original research. The time required to conduct original research necessitates two years to complete this track.
Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences - Non-Research Track
The length of the non-research track program is approximately 10 months.
Learning Outcomes
Graduates from the Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences non-research track will:
- Be able to understand and summarize articles on research topics from biomedical science journals.
- Have a basic knowledge of the role and use of biostatistics in biomedical research and be able to generate hypotheses and select appropriate statistical tests to properly evaluate and compare research data.
- Be able to summarize how research is used to develop new therapies in medicine.
- Be able to articulate interrelationships of diverse information and apply those relationships to current clinical situations.
