Overview

The Program

The MS in Physiology is a one-year (10 month or 12 month) non-thesis program from Georgetown University designed to prepare students for careers as health professionals in medicine, dentistry and the allied health professions, as well as careers in biomedical research, education and administration.

This is not a "special" master's degree program because our curriculum does not include first year medical school classes. However, all of the program's courses are medically relevant graduate courses taught by Georgetown University Medical Center faculty. In many cases, the same faculty who teach in the medical school also teach our courses. The program includes both group-based advising and 1:1 advising from medical center faculty who are experienced interviewers for Georgetown University's Medical School. Online and distance learning are not available.

Research is not a requirement or a focus of the MS in Physiology program. However, for MS students who show a keen interest and aptitude for research, elective research opportunities may be offered on a very limited basis and with approval from the Program Director.
