This graduate program is designed for students seeking to increase their competitiveness for admission to graduate and professional schools. The program provides an individualized curriculum to prepare for careers in medicine and the biomedical sciences. There are two curricular tracks that the student may follow: CHANGE and EDGE.
The CHANGE track is designed to provide students coming from diverse, non-science academic backgrounds the ability to change their career direction. Didactic training will encompass training in all pre-requisite courses needed for application to professional and graduate schools. Didactic training will be complemented by the opportunity to engage in biomedical research as well as clinical exposure activities.
The EDGE track is for designed students seeking to increase their competitiveness for application to professional and graduate schools. Advanced didactic course work and biomedical research experience will be coupled with clinical exposure activities to fully prepare students for admission to medical, graduate or other health professional schools.
Successful completion of the Master's Program in Biomedical Sciences will require 30 credit hours, 24 of which must be didactic hours.
