Master of Science Program in Biomedical Science
The core requirements for the master's in Biomedical science encompass
approximately 45 course credits (most courses carry three credits each).
A thesis is highly recommended. A Non-Thesis option is also offered.
The School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems has
recently decided to eliminate the comprehensive exam as a part of the
requirements for the Non-Thesis master's degree. This change is effective
immediately for those students that commenced their studies in the Fall
term of the 2006-2007 Academic Year. Students who began their studies
prior to that date are subject to the original requirements. However,
students will be allowed to appeal to the Graduate Advising Committee
for a waiver of the exam. Appeal requests will be considered on an individual
basis by a committee and will be based on academic performance.
A unique aspect of the School's Biomedical sciences program is its ability
to integrate aspects of physiology and molecular biology with quantitative
analysis, mathematical modeling, and computer processing to create a
systems approach to biomedical research and applications. Elective courses
such as Biological Control Systems; Applied Evolution; and Chronobioengineering reflect the School's emphasis on multidisciplinary approaches
to the most current research in biology and medicine.
