The College of Community Health Sciences is now accepting applications for its new Master of Science in Translational Science and Medicine, with the first class beginning in fall 2026.
Translational science bridges the gap between laboratory discoveries and clinical applications, helping to turn scientific findings into real-world medical solutions. The new degree program, which will be administered through the College’s Department of Translational Science and Medicine, is designed to educate students to move innovations from bench to bedside care, improving human health outcomes through applied research and collaboration.
Over 18 months, students will complete a combination of coursework and practical training. The master’s degree curriculum includes foundational classes in translational science, biostatistics and entrepreneurship, as well as elective courses in areas such as immunology, pharmacology and drug discovery. Students will also participate in industry internships, work with research partners and complete a culminating project focused on addressing real-world challenges.
Graduates of the program will be prepared for careers in biomedical or pharmaceutical research, or for further study in medical or doctoral programs.
Students interested in applying can do so here by April 15.
