Eastern Mennonite University MA in biomedicine

By -

EMU's MA in biomedicine program is an
interdisciplinary postbaccalaureate program with three concentrations designed to prepare students for entrance into medical school, teaching, or work in biomedicine.

Who is the program for?

Have you dreamed of becoming a physician or dentist or physical therapist? Then consider the MA in biomedicine science concentration, built upon the proven success of EMU's undergraduate pre-med curriculum, in which over 85% of our students during the past 20 years have successfully gained entrance into medical school.
Are you an educator who wants to increase your skills and knowledge in biomedicine in order to teach more effectively? Or, do you want to prepare to teach biomedicine or biology courses in a community college or technical school? Then consider the MA in biomedicine teaching concentration, offered in collaboration with EMU's graduate program in education.

Distinguishing characteristics of our biomedicine science track:
  • Small, personable and caring program, built on a cohort model of 15 students who enter the program each fall.
  • Transdisciplinary approach with quality teaching in basic natural sciences (biology, organic chemistry, physics and mathematics), social sciences, ethics and religion, and cross-cultural courses.
  • Faculty member assigned to one-on-one advising for each student.
  • Assist in placing students in clinical practicum experiences.
  • Specialized tutorial help in foundational courses.
  • Periodic seminars on different health-related fields.
  • Supports MCAT preparation and the medical school application process.
  • Financial aid opportunities on a selective basis through teaching assistantships and scholarships.
  • Holistic, broad understanding of biomedicine.
  • Focus on student success.
We believe that health involves the whole person. In our program, you will explore the physical, mental, spiritual and social dimensions of the person.

We believe that Christian faith is a vital dimension in our experience and motivates our compassion, attitude and relationship with others.

The MA degree is awarded with satisfactory completion of 48 graduate credit hours. A certificate can be awarded upon the completion of 28 credit hours.
