Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science - Biology & Master of Science - Biomedical Sciences

4+1 Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s degrees are a great way to save time and money and also enhance students career opportunities. Students can receive their Master’s degree in as little as one year. Eligible students take 12 graduate credits which is applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. 

Manhattanville’s School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) offer two tracks for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine an undergraduate Biology degree with a Biomedical Sciences degree at the graduate level.

The Biology degree programs incorporate real-world experience through work in state-of-the-art research labs on campus, an experiential learning project which may include novel research, and in many cases, opportunities for off-campus internships. Backed by a personalized curriculum and hands-on research experience, Manhattanville biology majors receive invaluable preparation for careers in fields related to biology or for pursuing dental school, medical school, or graduate programs for physical therapy or physicians’ assistantship.

The M.S. in Biomedical Sciences will provide an advanced background for students who are interested in the medical field and who will ultimately apply for admission to medical, dental, veterinary, physician’s assistant or physical therapy professional programs as well as medical research. The core curriculum will provide a solid breadth of the basic medical sciences, with more focused study on specific topics such as global health, bioethics, and biotechnology.
