About

The College of Graduate Health Sciences offers a 16-month, 35-credit hour program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Laboratory Research and Management. The mission of this program is to train qualified individuals in the advanced technical, managerial, and administrative skills required to be a Senior Research Assistant/Lab Manager in basic and translational biomedical research laboratories in the academic, government and private biotech sectors. Candidates in this three-term program will receive training in four integrated components:

Basic Science - Candidates will take existing graduate level courses in biochemistry, cell biology, and molecular biology to advance their knowledge and understanding of biological disciplines that are critical for functioning in a basic or translational biological research laboratory.
Technical - Candidates will be trained in both the theoretical and operational aspects of laboratory methodology and critical mathematical calculations. This will include molecular biology methodologies, procedures in animal experimentation, statistical analysis, bioinformatics, scientific communication, scientific graphic design and basic laboratory equipment maintenance and repair.
Administrative - Candidates will be trained and/or certified in radiation, biohazard, animal handling, human tissue handling, general safety compliance issues, the ethical conduct of scientific research, personnel management, conflict resolution, laboratory inventory management, and laboratory finance management.
Practical - Candidates will put their skills to practical use through a 6-month research laboratory internship.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Each college is responsible for developing program-specific, admission requirements, including prerequisite course and other requirements. It is the responsibility of the Office of Admissions to administer the admission requirements developed by individual UTHSC colleges and programs. General admission requirements for all UTHSC colleges include:

Previously earned grades of "D" or below in prerequisite courses are not accepted as fulfilling admission standards.
One or two-semester hour courses in physical education, seminar, music, military science, remedial and developmental, research, and non-theory courses are not counted toward total credit hours earned and are not used in computing the overall, UTHSC Common Grade Point Average (CGPA).
All required prerequisite courses in science must include a lab concurrent with the science courses to fulfill the course requirement.
Correspondence coursework must be approved by appropriate college administrators and the UTHSC Director of Admissions to before inclusion.
Advanced Placement credit, CLEP, or other non-traditional credit in required science prerequisite courses awarded by the applicant's regionally-accredited college may be honored for fulfilling prerequisite course requirements provided that the applicant has successfully completed an equal number of semester hours in the same discipline in a traditional classroom setting.

Note: Some UTHSC colleges and programs do not accept CLEP credit in required science prerequisite coursework. Coursework credit awarded via General CLEP tests is not accepted by the UTHSC. One credit unit in high school or six semester hours of college-level credit in American history must be completed prior to the beginning of the second term of a student's baccalaureate program at UTHSC.
