Master of Science in Medical Science
About the Program
Students completing the first year of the Interdepartmental Medical Science Certificate program who have at least a B average and wish to receive a graduate degree
may continue for another year of training to complete the requirements
for the Master of Science in Medical Science. The degree can be completed in one additional year and requires
research (non-thesis).
Students not meeting the minimum 3.0 GPA will be evaluated by the program director on an individual basis for admission into the MS in Medical Science program.
To fulfill requirements for the MS in Medical Science, students who have a 3.00 or higher GPA take one second-year medical school course and conduct either bench-top or clinical research with a Primary Investigator. Students whose GPA falls below a 3.00 are required to take 6 credits of graduate level biological science coursework. After successful completion of the program, the student is awarded a non-thesis Master of Science in Medical Science.
