Overview
About the Program
The comprehensive curriculum is tailored to students who have a solid undergraduate record but require additional coursework and guidance to achieve their goals. In addition to coursework, the Master of Biomedical Science requires the completion of a mentored Capstone project. Students may enter the program on either a full- or part-time basis. As designed, the program will take as little as one year to complete. Part-time students will have up to 4 years to complete all requirements.
In the Biomedical Science program of Rutgers University, students are required to take a number of courses focusing on the basics of medical sciences, such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology & Immunology and Medical Biochemistry. In addition, we plan to offer courses that take advantage of the strengths of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School such as Effects of Environment on Health and a Patient-Centered Medicine Seminar to round out the educational experience.
