MS in Biomedicine: Biomedical Science Concentration 

Degree: Master of Science
Semester Hours: 48-49

A master's from EMU can open doors. After earning a two-year master's, our students have proven that they are prepared for the rigors of professional health school. Our graduates have utilized their master's degree to obtain jobs at prestigious research facilities, non-profit organizations, and various healthcare centers.

EMU's Master of Science in Biomedicine degree allows you to pick and 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.
