Master of Biomedical Sciences Program Brochure | NSU College of Medical Sciences

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). FACULTY 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.
