The Master's in Biomedical Science program has been designed to provide academic enhancement within a one-year time-frame to improve or substantially expand a post-graduate student's overall scholastic credentials. The program will provide a foundation in basic biology that underlies and supports medicine and therefore provides a strong framework for professional school curricula. The MBS program is appropriate for students considering a future in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or biomedically related Ph.D. programs. Students will be required to pass a comprehensive examination covering material from core courses in order to graduate from the program.
