The M.S. program offers comprehensive interdisciplinary education across key Biomedical Sciences disciplines. Designed to equip students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, it prepares them for careers in research and academia. The curriculum combines laboratory coursework with hands-on training, while thesis students conduct experimental research under faculty supervision. Two pathways exist: The Thesis Track allows specialization in one of five focus areas - Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, or Organ Systems and Translational Medicine - culminating in a defended master's thesis. The Non-Thesis Track provides broad training in General Biomedical Sciences through coursework across all five disciplines. This full-time, two-year Master of Science program offers either a 30-credit thesis-based option guided by faculty advisors or a 36-credit non-thesis alternative.
