Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences

The Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) Graduate Program is an interdepartmental program of study.  Focusing on cross-disciplinary education and training in the biomedical sciences and the numerous associated domains of research, the faculty teach and mentor students in fields that have a critical mass of faculty, exceptional productivity, and international recognition.  These areas of research strength include:

  • Biomedical Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • Diagnostics and Therapeutics
  • Infection, Immunity and Epidemiology
  • Physiology and Developmental Biology

There are two MS options available from which a student may choose, the thesis concentration and the non-thesis concentration. The Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a thesis concentration provides an academic and research experience that educates students within the context of cross-disciplinary knowledge and prepares students to excel in a research career in areas as diverse as academia, government, industry, and others.  Additionally, a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a non-thesis concentration has a curriculum designed for students who wish to gain academic preparation beyond the undergraduate degree before entering a professional program of study or employment in human or animal healthcare.

This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous or synchronous distance education technology.
