PURSUE A MASTER OF sCIENCE DEGREE IN ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS
- Anatomical Sciences Education
- This online, non-thesis MS program uniquely offers the flexibility of three paths of study that are centered on human medical anatomy: (1) education, (2) pre-professional, and (3) biomedical research. The educational path is crafted for teachers in secondary education, anatomy instructors at community colleges, and others seeking post-baccalaureate education in the anatomical sciences.
- Biochemistry
- The Biochemistry program is designed to provide students necessary skills to obtain positions within the private and government research sectors. Our M.S. program is also designed to provide the background necessary for entry into competitive Ph.D. or other professional school programs.
- Biomedical Informatics
- The mission of the Biomedical Informatics program is to train a diverse workforce of professionals, researchers and leaders with multidisciplinary training in computer science, health and medicine, biostatistics, data science and analytics, engineering and research methodology. Students can also explore a certificate option.
- Biomedical Neuroscience
- The goal of this online biomedical neuroscience master’s concentration is to provide students with a strong foundational knowledge of normal human brain function across the lifespan and of the functional and pathological changes that accompany neurodegenerative diseases, aging, affective disorders and addictive behaviors.
- Forensic Medicine
- The online M.S. in Forensic Medicine provides worldwide access to a high-quality UF education. Students and professionals now have the opportunity to develop their skills and apply medical knowledge to the investigation of crimes – all from anywhere in the world. The program offers both thesis and non-thesis options and can be completed in 2-3 years.
- Gerontology
- More than 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and according to the Eldercare Workforce Alliance, the United States is ill-prepared to meet current and future workforce needs for its aging adult population. Be a part of the solution to this major problem facing the healthcare landscape with an online graduate certificate or master’s degree in Gerontology.
- Health Outcomes and Implementation Science
- The Master of Science in Medical Sciences with a concentration in Health Outcomes and Implementation Science is designed to equip graduates with interdisciplinary skills in research design and execution that will make them highly marketable in the growing fields of health outcomes and policy research, translational science and prevention science. A certificate is also available
- Medical Physics
- The University of Florida’s Medical Physics Graduate Program is one of the oldest medical physics programs in the United States (originating in 1961) and is accredited for graduate degrees (MS and PhD) by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Physics Education Programs (CAMPEP).
- Medical Physiology and Pharmacology
- This program involves graduate studies leading to a Ph.D. degree are offered through the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Florida’s College of Medicine. The basic goals in research training are to develop skills in hypothesis development, experimental design to test hypotheses, technical execution, data analysis, and data interpretation.
- Medical Sciences
- A master’s degree in Medical Sciences without a concentration is no longer offered by the College of Medicine. Please review the concentrations in Medical Science on this page to find an appropriate subject of study.
- Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
- The Concentration in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology is a 33 credit on-campus thesis research degree aimed at students who have interest in learning how to conduct scientific research in molecular genetics, virology, gene therapy, and cell biology. It could prepare students for pursuing a Ph.D. degree or performing research in a variety of venues such as academia, industry, or government.
- Molecular Cell Biology
- The Master of Science in Medical Sciences with a concentration in Molecular, Cellular and Cancer Biology (MCB MS program) is designed for students interested in graduate study and laboratory research in the exciting field of molecular, cellular and cancer biology. Students will acquire cell biology and interdisciplinary research skills to become competitive for research positions in colleges, universities, and companies in the biomedical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, bio-agricultural, and diagnostics/devices sectors.
- Neuroscience
- The goal of the master’s Program in Medical Sciences with a concentration in neuroscience is to provide a student with applicable knowledge and essential skills that can be leveraged towards multiple academic and private sector career path options. Some students may develop a passion for his/her topic of interest and decide to engage in the Ph.D. track in neuroscience. Others may opt to use their degree as a gateway to careers in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries.
- Pharmacology
- Pharmacology is a multidisciplinary field that broadly seeks to understand mechanisms of drug action and to develop novel therapeutics. The discipline requires in-depth knowledge of chemical and biological processes. The multidisciplinary nature of pharmacology involves an integrative approach to solving biomedical problems that requires understanding principles that span chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and whole organism physiology.
