Second Year
Electives – See above.
BSR8900 Thesis MS Biomedical Science credit – Three credits will be given for the MS Thesis in Biomedical Sciences in the final semester of the program. Thesis credits are assigned automatically when a student deposits his/her/their thesis.
BSR8004 & BSR8005 Independent Research MS Biomedical Science – Each student will receive 8 credits for research conducted during the second year.
Three/Four Semesters – While the MSBS Program is designed to be completed in 3 semesters, many students choose to spread their research and/or courses over 4 semesters. There are many advantages to utilizing the full 4 semesters to complete the degree and, as an added bonus, there are no additional tuition costs or student fees for this extra time. During the fourth semester, students will register for the course(s) they need and for research credits.
