A masters Master of Science
Semester Hours: 42
An MS in Biomedicine from EMU can open doors. After earning a two-year mastersmaster's, our students have proven that they are prepared for the rigors of professional health school. Our graduates have utilized their masters degrees to master's degree as a step towards allopathic and osteopathic degrees in Medicine, obtain jobs at prestigious research facilities, non-profit organizations, and various healthcare centers.
Our Masters EMU's Master of Science in Biomedicine degree allows you to pick and chose choose 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.
Transfer Credit
EMU graduate programs accept a limited amount of graduate transfer credit from other colleges and universities. The University Registrar determines the eligibility of credits to transfer from another institution, and the director of the graduate program makes the final determination of the applicability of transfer credit to an individual’s graduate program. Transfer courses will be recorded with the same titles and grades as appear on the transcript from the previous school. Transfer grades will not apply toward the EMU grade point average.
