Biomedical Science at Northeastern University

Scientific work, whether research or clinically oriented, is increasingly interdisciplinary and demands a skill set able to deal with problems of human health across branches of science and medicine. The Master of Science in Biomedical Science, offered by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, integrates study across several areas of contemporary biomedicine, including human physiology and pathophysiology, pharmacology, and biochemistry/cell biology. This program is appropriate for those entering or currently employed in the field, including research technicians, clinical laboratory workers, science teachers, and science administrators. For those currently employed, program flexibility can enhance their performance in a current position or invite new employment opportunities. Graduates of the program will also be well prepared to enter related PhD programs at the university.
