M.S. in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) Curriculum

The Marian University Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) program is committed to empowering you with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in medicine and biomedical sciences. Our supportive mentorship and rigorous curriculum provide you with a strong foundation for your future career. Explore your options with our two degree tracks, both designed for anyone looking to transition to a healthcare profession, such as physician, physician assistant, physical therapist, or to apply to a professional school or Ph.D. program. The BMS program does not require completion of the MCAT exam for admission. Our one-year Capstone track is designed to enhance your medical or professional school applications by offering graduate science courses similar to those found in the first year of medical school. Meanwhile, in our two- year Thesis track, you will gain the necessary expertise and credentials to pursue a career in the life or biomedical sciences field or research laboratories. Our esteemed faculty bring a wealth of expertise and diverse perspectives to the classroom. With our dedicated BMS faculty, you will learn from a team of specialists. BMS students benefit from a unique mentorship program that helps you build valuable professional relationships and gain direct support from faculty, staff, and alumni, rather than teaching assistants. These mentorship opportunities focus on the full scope of professional development. Our BMS program offers you opportunities to participate in clinical and research rotations, internships, and community outreach programs. Each fall and spring semester, you will be offered a professional development series to support your ongoing preparation for post- graduate work. Start your rewarding career in the biomedical sciences at MU-WCOM!
