Which Masters program is right for you?

For some students, deciding whether to enter a clinical educational program or to commit to a lengthy Ph.D. program in biomedical sciences is often difficult and made with limited knowledge. Other students may be committed to a career in medicine but have undergraduate academic records that are inadequate for acceptance into professional school. To meet the educational needs of both groups of students, we have designed a masters program in biomedical sciences that has a flexible curriculum, offers coursework in both days and evenings, but is sufficiently structured to prepare students to make a more informed decision about their career path.

This Masters program has proven useful for students interested in entering the pharmaceutical or biotech industry or a variety of careers ancillary to the biomedical sciences  The Masters program is also geared toward those seeking entrance into a medical/dental school. Students interested in this course of study are eligible to apply to take a maximum of two (2) medical or dental courses along with graduate courses.

All students are required to take a seminar in biomedical sciences that exposes the students to the research programs of faculty at our campus, and a subsequent 2-credit laboratory course in which students work with one of our faculty in an area of interest.

The M.S./MBA Programis a dual degree program with Rutgers Business School geared towards educating students interested in management careers in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or related industries.

Courses are offered in both day and evening to accommodate the needs of full and part-time students. See course schedules for listings.
