Master of Science in Medical Science Program
Students aspiring to careers in medicine at times require additional skill-building experience and an enhanced knowledge of learning strategies. Some students who are not admitted to the medical program at IUSM on their first attempt may be invited to enroll in the M.S.M.S. Program. Others seeking direct admission can complete and submit the program’s application for admission.
The M.S.M.S. Program’s two-year academic experience includes 36 credit hours of didactic instruction, laboratory experience, problem-based learning, and guided research. Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in order to earn the M.S.M.S. degree. Students may apply to medical school during their first or second year in the program. Thus, those admitted to medical school after the first year are not required to complete the academic requirements for the M.S.M.S. degree.
All admitted students must complete a ten-week intensive summer Medical College Admissions Test Preparation Program offered at IUSM before starting the graduate M.S.M.S. curriculum in the fall semester.
