The Master of Health Science in Biomedical Sciences program provides students with the cutting-edge skills they need to manage the more complex operations carried out today in hospitals and research facilities, as well as allowing students to develop their critical thinking skills and knowledge of Biomedical Sciences, sought after by PhD programs and medical schools. The two specialties included in the program (biomedical sciences and microbiology) and the integration of courses from these individual specialties provides the student with a comprehensive knowledge to meet the education and technical needs of the biomedical profession in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics, and medical research. Students are guided in the principles and methods of scientific research, and they gain knowledge of the latest advances in biomedical, biotechnological and laboratory sciences—all directly applicable to real-world work environments.
The curriculum of the Biomedical Sciences program is designed to allow students to achieve the following objectives: 

(1) Have an advanced understanding of translational science in biomedical and microbiological topics. 

(2) Have an advanced understanding of the scientific process including research, research ethics, communication, critical analysis of the scientific literature and experimental design. 

(3) Gain scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary to implement evidence-based translational research. 

(4) Gain skills and knowledge necessary to apply to PhD and professional programs. 

The faculty in the Department of Biomedical Sciences are involved in a wide array of research projects. Masters student have the option of a thesis or non-thesis track, but all students are encouraged to participate in a research project.
