MA in Biomedicine: Biomedical Science Concentration
Students who are service-oriented, compassionate, interested in health and human biology issues, and are academically competent can enter medical schools and become skilled healthcare professionals if they complete appropriate prerequisite courses during their undergraduate years in college. Some students, who graduate with baccalaureate degrees in liberal arts, humanities, business, social work, etc., later decide that they would like to go to medical school but lack the prerequisite coursework. Our postbaccalaureate biomedical program is designed to help those students realize their dream.
Currently, there is a shortage of health care professionals in most areas of the United States as well as internationally. During the next decade, the U.S. Department of Labor projects a growth of more than 25% in the healthcare industry (including family care physicians, physical therapists, pharmacists, etc), meaning more new jobs than most other industriesA masters from EMU can open doors. After earning a two year masters, our students have proven that they are prepared for the rigors of professional health school. Our graduates have utilized their masters degrees to obtain jobs at prestegious research facilities, non-profit organizations, and various healthcare centers.
Our Masters in Biomedicine degree allows you to pick and chose which graduate-level natural science courses you need and would like to take. Our curriculum will set your application apart with our built-in cross-cultural experience, practicum shadowing, thesis research, ethics and leadership training, and interdisciplinary course offerings.
