About Us

Gain the experiences and study the curriculum you need to help you prepare for the next step in your education. 

Our Biomedical Sciences Master’s Program is distinct from other master’s programs at the Jacobs School. While those programs are geared toward students looking for a focused experience in one particular discipline, our program gives you a broad overview of the biomedical sciences. You can shape your education based on your interests and goals.

Our Students

Coming from a variety of backgrounds, but with one big thing in common: a desire to improve healthcare.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of our program, our students enter the program with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. Some students know they want to work directly with patients, others want to work on the next big discovery, and some are still deciding what makes the most sense for them. Either way, we're confident you'll find the path that leads you to make a difference in healthcare.
