Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences - Infection

This program builds a strong biomedical sciences foundation, offering research or professional pathways for health careers and advanced study. The Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) Graduate Program is an interdepartmental program of study. Focusing on cross-disciplinary education and training in the biomedical sciences and the numerous associated domains of research, the faculty teach and mentor students in fields that have a critical mass of faculty, exceptional productivity, and international recognition. These areas of research strength include: Biomedical Genomics and Bioinformatics; Diagnostics and Therapeutics; Infection, Immunity and Epidemiology; Physiology and Developmental Biology. There are two MS options available from which a student may choose: the thesis concentration and the non-thesis concentration. The Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a thesis concentration provides an academic and research experience that educates students within the context of cross-disciplinary knowledge and prepares students to excel in a research career in areas as diverse as academia, government, industry, and others. A Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences with a non-thesis concentration has a curriculum designed for students who wish to gain academic preparation beyond the undergraduate degree before entering a professional program of study or employment in human or animal healthcare. This program is also approved for delivery via asynchronous or synchronous distance education technology.

Students must hold a bachelor’s or professional degree (or equivalent).
