Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) CURRICULUM
Thesis Track (Research) • If you want to earn a master’s degree and pursue a career in the biomedical sciences to work in a laboratory setting or continue to a Ph.D. program, choose the 38-credit research track. • You’ll complete all of the courses required for the capstone track along with research methods, design, and biostatistics courses. • Our curriculum will provide you with the knowledge, experience, and flexibility you need to work in a variety of clinical positions needed to support doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. You’ll also get the preparation you need to work in applied research, policy-making, and analyst positions in the public and private sectors.
If you want an advanced degree that will give you maximum flexibility for current and future career goals, consider earning a BMS degree. While acceptance to medical school is an important goal for many students admitted to our program, others seek careers in related fields of healthcare, including research positions in the life science and pharmaceutical industries. Capstone Track (Medical/Professional School) • If you want to strengthen your academic credentials and enhance your professional school application, choose the 38-credit capstone track. • You’ll complete biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, immunology, and other courses at a level of academic rigor that is on par with what medical students are required to complete during their first year of classes. • All courses are taught by College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty who will provide you with individual advising and mentoring. • If you earn a 3.50 GPA or higher during the fall semester, and have an MCAT score of 497 or higher, you’re guaranteed an admission interview for our Doctor of Osteopathic (DO) program in the spring. *
