The College of Medical Sciences joins the Colleges
of Osteopathic Medicine, Pharmacy, Optometry,
Health Care Sciences, Dental Medicine, and Nursing
as one of the prime educational institutions in NSU’s
Health Professions Division. The Master of Biomedical
Sciences (M.B.S.) is a program that allows students to
demonstrate that they can be successful in either the
Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic
Medicine or College of Dental Medicine. Students are
trained in human biology and medicine to improve
their academic credentials in order to be considered for
admission to our professional schools. Those enrolled
in this degree program take basic science courses, along
with current dental and osteopathic medicine students.
Courses offered include gross anatomy, histology,
neuroanatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physiology,
pathology, and pharmacology.
Students who have successfully completed one year
in this program will be considered for admission into
the College of Dental Medicine or the College of
Osteopathic Medicine at Nova Southeastern University,
pending a completed application to the respective
program. M.B.S. students who have successfully
finished two years of this program will receive a
Master of Biomedical Sciences degree, and then will
be considered for admission to NSU’s College of
Osteopathic Medicine or College of Dental Medicine,
after completing an application to the respective
professional program.
The Master of Biomedical Sciences degree program is
accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS).

The College of Medical Sciences is staffed with 32
faculty members, most of whom possess doctoral degrees
in their fields. Because of the small size of the master’s
degree program, there is an opportunity for small group
instruction and for a close working relationship with an
adviser and other members of the science faculty.
