Master of Science in Medical Sciences: Program Overview

The University of Jamestown's (UJ's) online Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS) is not just another post-baccalaureate or pre-health program -- it is a mission-driven, academically rigorous graduate program intentionally designed to position students for admission to professional schools (MD, DO, DPT, etc.) or successful entry into health and biomedical careers.


UJ's MSMS Program offers a full graduate-level curriculum with advanced coursework in biomedical sciences, pathway opportunities for professional school preparation or medical/healthcare career development, capstone project and ethics training that contribute to professional readiness, and individual advising and academic support tailored for each student to support their individual professional and career goals.
