Course Listing and Description

Courses in the Biomedicine graduate program fall into various categories, which are described by their lettered prefixes and numbering system. Some of the science courses are dual-listed, meaning they are found both in the undergraduate and in the graduate curriculum. While their descriptions and much of their content are similar, the graduate version of the course involves more in-depth work and a greater amount of content in comparison to the undergraduate course. The graduate numbering system for these dual-listed courses are in the 500s, and their undergraduate designation (department and undergraduate number) are also listed. Generally, the number series – 500s, 600s – reflect progressive increases in course complexity or difficulty. Courses designated with an asterisk (*) are alternate year courses, and the semester in which they are scheduled are indicated in [brackets]. Course letter designations are as follows:

Master of Science in Biomedicine

After earning a two-year master's, our students have proven that they are prepared for the rigors of professional health school. Our graduates have utilized their master's degree as a step towards allopathic and osteopathic degrees in Medicine, obtain jobs at prestigious research facilities, non-profit organizations, and various healthcare centers.

91¶ÌÊÓƵ's Master of Science in Biomedicine degree allows you to pick and choose which graduate-level natural science courses you need and would like to take. Our curriculum will set your application apart with our built-in cross-cultural experience, practicum shadowing, thesis research, ethics and leadership training, and interdisciplinary course offerings.

Biomedicine Certificate

For those who want to become more competitive applicants for professional health school, and only need a one-year program to enhance their application. Our Biomedicine certificate allows you to pick and choose which graduate-level natural science courses suit your academic goals the best. Our curriculum will set your application apart with our built-in cross-cultural experience, practicum shadowing, and interdisciplinary course offerings.

Master of Science in Premedicine

If you don't have all of the necessary pre-health coursework to be prepared to take the MCAT, let alone apply to medical school, the MS in Premedicine is the track for you. You will simultaneously take undergraduate and graduate level pre-health courses. By taking basic natural science courses and more advanced science, psychology, ethics, and research courses, you will be adequately prepared for the MCAT and the rigors of medical school.

MS in Premedicine Plan of Study

Below is a typical plan of study for students enrolling in the master's in premedicine program who have not taken the appropriate pre-health courses required for medical or other professional health programs.  With this plan you will:

• Complete lower-level undergraduate prerequisite courses
• Prepare for the rigors of medical school with graduate-level courses
• Learn background material to help you perform well on the MCAT

Two-year course plans will be tailored to fit each student’s needs. Below are course plan samples for students coming in with General Chemistry I and II only and for those who need all medical school requirements.
