Join one of healthcare's most rapidly expanding and in-demand fields With the robust and steady expansion of the healthcare and biomedical sectors, Marquette's MS in Biomedical Sciences program enhances academic and professional qualifications for individuals aiming to enter diverse biomedical careers or continue advanced health studies. Tailored to meet current biomedical education requirements, this program strategically prepares students for professional healthcare programs while providing practical skills for immediate workforce entry.
Through specialized seminars and career practicums, participants can select a concentration emphasizing either laboratory techniques/research or biomedical science education. Those choosing the research path will obtain hands-on training in contract research organizations or faculty-led biomedical research projects. Students opting for the instructional track will receive guided teaching experience by assisting with undergraduate biomedical courses, health professional classes, or science outreach initiatives based on their interests. Both tracks offer specialization options in neuroscience or human anatomical sciences.
The neuroscience specialization provides fundamental knowledge of core concepts, including comprehensive understanding of neuronal and non-neuronal nervous system components, synaptic signaling mechanisms, nervous system structure/function relationships, and behavioral/physiological/cognitive aspects of both healthy and impaired nervous systems.
