Master of Science in Medical Sciences

The Master of Science in Medical Science Program is the second year of the IMS program. Students cannot directly apply to the MS in Medical Science program.

Those students completing the first year of the Interdepartmental Medical Sciences 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 fulfil requirements for the MS in Medical Science, students take one second-year medical school course and conduct either bench-top or clinical research with a Primary Investigator. After successful completion of the program, the student is awarded a non-thesis Master of Science in Medical Science.
