Interdisciplinary Health Sciences

The MS in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences (IHS) allows students to become stronger applicants to medical or other health professional schools by enhancing their academic credentials through a customizable biomedical curriculum. The program also helps students to find and engage in meaningful community service experiences and provides an opportunity to supplement biomedical coursework with laboratory or clinical research. In the second year, students select a concentration track and complete a specified number of courses prior to graduation. In this way, the curriculum is both flexible and structured while reinforcing the health care career interests of each student. Graduates have a strong, integrated view of the biomedical sciences to use their degree as a springboard for further professional education or for direct entry into the health care workforce.
