The M.S. program provides comprehensive interdisciplinary education across key Biomedical Sciences disciplines. Designed to prepare students for careers in research and academia, it combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on laboratory experience through coursework and faculty-mentored thesis projects. Participants can choose between two pathways: Thesis Track, featuring specialized concentrations reflected on transcripts, with five focus areas: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, and Organ Systems and Translational Medicine. Thesis students conduct original research culminating in a defended master's thesis. Alternatively, the Non-Thesis Track offers General Biomedical Sciences training through coursework covering all five concentration areas. This graduate program presents five specialized tracks for thesis-seeking students: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, and Organ Systems and Translational Medicine
The Neuroscience concentration serves as an academic collaborative, enhancing PhD, MD/PhD, and MS programs within Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. This group delivers specialized neuroscience courses, research projects, and learning initiatives, uniting experts from basic science departments, clinical divisions, and research institutions including the Center of Substance Abuse, Center for Neurovirology and Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center, and Shriner's Hospitals Pediatric Research Center. Neuroscience spans diverse aspects of nervous system development, function, damage, and recovery, influencing memory, emotion, sensory perception (including pain), movement, and cognition. The concentration introduces students to fundamental neuroscience research with an emphasis on translating discoveries into therapies for neurological and mental health conditions. The program's extensive faculty expertise fosters interdisciplinary neuroscience training, equipping graduates with knowledge of neurodegenerative diseases, neural trauma, and the creation of innovative treatments and rehabilitation approaches.

Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: Optional. Students are not required to submit standardized scores, including GRE or MCAT scores, to supplement their application.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 79
IELTS Academic: 6.5
550 on the paper-based (PBT)
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
