MS Biomedical Science-Cell,Molecular,and Developmental Biology

If you're interested in careers in the medical field (e.g., medical, dental, PA, pharmacy school), research science, scientific policy, science communication, science education, biomedical sales, and more, the Master of Science in Multidisciplinary Biomedical Science (MBS) might be for you. This program is intended for domestic and international students that have some undergraduate STEM field training and wish to increase their knowledge of biomedical sciences.

We offer an exciting, innovative curriculum. A wide range of elective classes are offered through several STEM-themed disciplines that cater to a wide array of career trajectories. Concentrations are available in many scientific disciplines unique to Masters programs in Alabama including: Cancer Biology, Genetics and Genomic Sciences; Neuroscience; Pharmacology; Bioinformatics; and Immunology. Courses are also available through UAB Graduate School’s Office of Professional Studies and Experiential Learning (OPSEL), including the required “Critical Thinking and Scientific Integrity.”

Hands-on, cutting-edge research opportunities. UAB is Alabama’s premier institution for biomedical research. UAB ranks in the top 20 nationally for research funding among public universities

Flexibility. You can start the MBS program in fall, spring or summer semesters, which provides students with important flexibility for beginning their graduate studies. Additionally, our program offers full-time or part-time options for students.

Individualized mentoring. Students are encouraged to develop individualized mentoring plans (IDPs) with the MBS Program Director. IDPs focus the student for academic success while in the MBS program and they provide an important framework for students’ short-term and long-term career success.
