Master of Science in Applied Biomedical Sciences

The UMass Lowell Department of Biomedical and Nutritional Sciences offers a Master of Science in Applied Biomedical Sciences.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science degree program in Applied Biomedical Sciences requires the successful completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate level courses. These include 23 credit hours of core courses and 7 approved elective credits. Students may petition to transfer up to 12 graduate course credits of related content from other programs, and this requires approval by the department graduate coordinator and or department graduate faculty committee.  

Part-Time Study

Students are allowed to matriculate on a part-time basis (taking one or two courses) and most professionally employed students that pursue the M.S. degree in Applied Biomedical Sciences do so. Most classes meet once per week and are scheduled in the evening or online for student convenience.

Bachelor's-Master's Program

Undergraduate students in this program move through the master's program at an accelerated rate by taking two 5000-level courses during their senior year and count those credits toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students apply during their Junior year.
