Master of Arts in Biomedical Science

Overview

The Master of Biomedical Science degree offers students who have already graduated with a bachelor’s degree a path to take required prerequisite courses for medical professional schools, demonstrate academic achievement at the graduate level, or foster career advancement. The Master of Arts in Biomedical Science will be offered over a 12-month period, with a new cohort beginning in the Fall and Spring of each year. However, matriculation into the program can occur at any term. Courses will be offered in an asynchronous online format, including labs for courses with a lab component. The MA will include 33 required credit hours with no specialty tracks.
