Our One Year Non-Thesis MS in Biomedical Sciences requires completion of 30 credits of hands-on graduate coursework, taught by nationally recognized and awarded instructors. From cadaver-based human anatomy to unique courses in Pharmacology and Pathology, our professional-level curriculum sets us apart.
Designed to be completed in two semesters, we are flexible with both Fall and Spring start dates. We also allow students to complete the coursework in three semesters if that works better for them.
