Medical Science

The Master of Science in Medical Science (MMS) program is a rigorous, direct-entry, two-year graduate degree program that pairs a rich and challenging curriculum with engaged and personalized student advising. The program is designed to provide talented students with both medical knowledge and research competencies. During the first year, students take course work equivalent to a first-year medical school curriculum. In the second year, students continue graduate coursework while pursuing mentored research in a discipline of their choice. Students in the program develop strong, well-rounded academic and research portfolios and become competitive candidates for seats in medical school or as they continue their graduate medical education.
