The MHS program is completed in one academic year (late August through mid May). The program's flexible curriculum allows opportunity to take courses throughout the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Because of the School's unique academic calendar with four eight-weeks terms, students have ample opportunity to take a rich variety of courses.
The MHS in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology includes courses within a core curriculum focused around biochemistry, molecular biology, reproductive biology, and the biology of disease and public health. The remainder of the courses are electives- that can be chosen based on interests and career goals. Students have extensive opportunities to have one-on-one interaction with faculty and staff, for advising, career guidance, and thesis preparation. The department also has a part-time pre-health advisor who leads workshops through the academic year to prepare students for applying to medical school or other professional schools in healthcare.
