Track of Study

The BMS program provides a rigorous basic science curriculum to prepare students to reach their professional goals. All students in the Biomedical Sciences program are required to take the series of core basic science courses. In addition, at the time of application, students are required to select one of the following four certificate concentrations in which to take courses.

• Health Professions Education
• Healthcare Administration & Management
• Nutrition*
• Women’s Health*

*Acceptance into these certificate tracks will be based on a student’s qualification and interest, and upon available space in the program. A separate application process is required for students interested in these two tracks. The learning format for these tracks includes both traditional and online coursework.

Applicants will be placed into the Healthcare Administration & Management, or Health Professions Education track unless accepted to a pre-selected certificate program in Nutrition or Women's Health. An effort will be made to place students in the track of their choice; however, the Department of Interprofessional Healthcare Studies reserves the right to place students in a track as space allows. There are no additional prerequisites for the Healthcare Administration & Management, or Health Professions Education tracks.
