M.S. in Biomedical Sciences

The Biomedical Sciences Program at LSUHSC-NO provides students with an integrated curriculum and the opportunity to select a mentor and research project from a wide range of disciplines and faculty mentors within seven basic science programs.  Students complete an integrated curriculum and a series of two research rotations in different labs during the Fall semester.  In the second (Spring) semester of the program, students select a mentor and program where they will complete additional course requirements as required by their department and begin a research project.  A minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate course work and laboratory research with the publication of a thesis are required in this two-year program.
