Graduate Departments and Degree Programs
Students in the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences (GMS) -the focus of graduate education in the biomedical sciences at Boston University Medical Center – are provided with the opportunity of undertaking study and research in the well-equipped laboratory facilities of the preclinical departments that make up the Division. PhD degree and MD/PhD degree study is available in
- Anatomy and Neurobiology
- Behavioral Neuroscience
- Biochemistry
- Biomedical Neuroscience
- Biophysics
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Genetics and Genomics
- Immunology
- Medical Nutrition Sciences
- Microbiology
- Molecular Medicine
- Oral Biology
- Pathology
- Pharmacology
- Physiology
MA degree study is available in all of the above areas of study except Behavioral Neuroscience, Cell & Molecular Biology, Oral Biology, and Molecular Medicine, as well as the following areas of study:
- Bioimaging
- Clinical Investigation
- Medical Sciences
- Medical Sciences (Oral Health Sciences Track)
- Medical Anthropology & Cross-Cultural Practice
- Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine
M.S. degree study is available in
Interdepartmental training and research programs in molecular and cellular biology, immunology, human genetics, and neuroscience are also available. Dual degree programs with the School of Medicine, the School of Public Health, the College of Engineering, and the School of Management are an ever-expanding aspect of current multi-dimensional biomedical research and education. Specific requirements and research opportunities in these various areas are outlined elsewhere.
To accommodate the growth in these areas and in research emanating from the basic science departments, significant additions to the School’s physical plant have been made and more are underway.
These additions to research space will help to perpetuate an environment conducive to integrated inquiry between basic scientists and clinical investigators. Indeed, the prevalence of joint appointments between basic sciences and clinical departments attests to the high level of cooperation between scientists and clinicians in the conceptualization, discovery, development, and testing of new therapeutic methods and pharmacological products.
