Multidisciplinary Biomedical Science

The MS Program in Multidisciplinary Biomedical Science (MBS) offers a rigorous curriculum in biomedical science combined with meaningful professional career development. MS MBS is intended for both domestic and international students who have some undergraduate STEM background. MS MBS offers a 30-hour non-thesis option (Plan II) that is ideal for students on the pre-health track, and a 40-hour, research-intensive thesis option (Plan I) for students interested in research-related careers.

Why MS MBS?

If you are on the pre-health track (e.g., pre-med; pre-dental; pre-PA; pre-pharmacy), you are interested in a career in biomedical research, or you are considering alternative careers (e.g., science education, scientific policy, science communication, biomedical sales), MS MBS may be the right Program for you. 

Admission Requirements

To be considered for Direct Admission to MBS requires a 3.0 minimum overall GPA and successful completion of the following pre-requisites: Introductory Biology (BY 123-BY 124 if from UAB or equivalent) and Organic Chemistry (CH 235-CH 238 if from UAB or equivalent). Your pre-requisite GPA and your Biology-Chemistry-Physics-Math (or BCPM) GPAs will also be considered in our administrative review of your application. The GRE is not required. For international applicants, the minimum TOEFL and IELTS scores required for direct entry are 80 and 6.5, respectively.

Students are required to submit their transcripts, a personal statement, and two letters of recommendation (at least one is preferred from a current/former STEM teacher). Once these materials are received and the application fee is processed, applications will be reviewed in consideration of interviews.

Accelerated Learning Opportunities

MBS via the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) Program

Multidisciplinary Biomedical Sciences offers an Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) option for high-achieving undergraduates. Distinct advantages of MBS-ABM include the use of up to 12 hours of shared credit that is applied to both your BS and MS degrees, taking graduate courses at the undergraduate tuition rate, and additional opportunities for academic advising and mentoring. The vast majority of MBS-ABM students are able to graduate with both their BS and MS degrees in 4 years, thus potentially making you more competitive for the next phase of your career trajectory. To be eligible for ABM, students must have met the following requirements prior to matriculating:

• Junior status (60 credit hours, 36 of these hours at UAB)

• Minimum 3.5 undergraduate GPA

• Completed the following pre-requisite courses: BY 123 , BY 124 , CH 235, CH 236, CH 237, and CH 238

MBS via Early Acceptance

The UAB Early Acceptance (EA) Program is designed for academically superior high-school students, allowing them to be admitted to MBS at the same time they are admitted to an undergraduate program. EA students may also utilize the ABM Program as a mechanism for admission to MBS.

Deadlines for all Applicants:

• Fall: August 1
• Spring: December 1

M.S. in Multidisciplinary Biomedical Science

The M.S. Program in Multidisciplinary Biomedical Science (MS MBS) is intended for students to improve their readiness for many different career paths, including but not limited to: further graduate study (e.g., PhD programs), professional school (e.g., medical, dental, PA, pharmacy), research jobs in academia or industry, science education, scientific policy, science communication, or biomedical sales.

Thesis (Plan I) for Traditional Students

The Plan I MS in MBS thesis degree at UAB can be completed over the course of six semesters if full-time, including at least two summer semesters. Plan I students will complete a rigorous mentored research project in addition to a curriculum of required core and elective classes related to the biomedical sciences.

Successful completion of the Plan I MS in MBS degree requires passing 40 credit hours (28 hours = coursework; 12 hours = supervised research) and maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA. Students must obtain a minimum C final grade in all required (non-elective) classes in order to graduate. However, only one C final grade is allowed among our three required core science courses - MBS 601, MBS 602, and MBS 603.

Coursework

Plan I students must complete the following required classes:

1) core science (MBS 601 (4 hours), MBS 602 (4 hours), MBS 603 (4 hours), 12 hours total)

2) biostatistics (BST 603, 3 hours) or equivalent with permission

3) five Colloquium courses (MBS 697 1 hour each, 5 hours total)

4) three-four semesters of non-thesis research (MBS 698,  6 hours total)

5) one-two semesters of thesis research (MBS 699, 6 hours total)

6) electives (8 hours total).

Students have the option of earning a concentration by completing at least nine elective credit hours in a single subject area. Note- this may require additional credit hours than are required for degree. 

Research 

Plan I students must complete five separate semesters of research totaling a minimum of 12 credit hours, including a minimum 6 hours of MBS 698 (non-thesis research) over three-four semesters, and a required minimum of 6 hours of MBS 699 (thesis research) over one-two semesters (at least one semester is required). When registered for MBS 698 or MBS 699, students are expected to work on average a minimum of 15-20 hours/week on their research projects. During their first semester in the program, before they start their research projects, students undergo a mentor match process to choose their faculty thesis adviser, with the expectation that this decision is made before the start of their second semester. Plan I students will form a committee of three faculty that is chaired by their thesis adviser and are required to hold a minimum of three committee meetings (1: introductory; 2: qualifying exam; 3: thesis defense; additional meetings may be needed depending on student progress). The thesis project must be approved by the student's committee. For the qualifying exam, Plan I students are expected to prepare a seven page "NIH-style" grant proposal, plus a separate reference section, that is adjusted to the scope of their research project, and vet their proposals in front of their committee. Students are expected to qualify for thesis candidacy by the end of their fourth semester in the Program. If there are any delays in this timeline, the student will be required to take additional credit hours of MBS 698 non-thesis research each semester, resulting in at least 7 or greater total hours of MBS 698, until they qualify for thesis candidacy. Following qualification for thesis candidacy, Plan I students are required to complete a thesis document of their research findings and defend it publicly as a presentation to their committee and others (e.g., students, lab members, family members), which is followed immediately by a private defense with their committee. Plan I students work on their research projects for five semesters, typically semesters 2-6 while in the Program. During their first semester in the program, Plan I students should register for zero hours of MBS 698, to accommodate the mentor match process. Before students begin their research they must complete all lab-specific safety training. Students must also complete Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training for MS students before the end of their first semester registered for MBS 698.

Thesis (Plan I) for Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's (ABM) Students

Undergraduates at UAB who meet qualifications for admission to the Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's (ABM) program, and/or who also received an early acceptance (EA) option for a MS program at UAB, may choose to complete the Plan I MS thesis degree in MBS. The Plan I MS in MBS ABM thesis degree at UAB can be completed over the course of five semesters, including at least one summer semester if full time. Plan I students will complete a rigorous mentored research project in addition to a curriculum of required core and elective classes related to the biomedical sciences.

Successful completion of the Plan I MS in MBS degree requires passing 40 credit hours (28 hours = coursework; 12 hours = supervised research) and maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA. Students must obtain a minimum C final grade in all required (non-elective) classes in order to graduate. However, only one C final grade is allowed among our three required core science courses - MBS 601, MBS 602, and MBS 603.

Coursework

Plan I students must complete the following required classes:

1) core science (MBS 601 (4 hours), MBS 602 (4 hours), MBS 603 (4 hours), 12 hours total)

2) biostatistics (BST 603, 3 hours) or equivalent with permission

3) four Colloquium courses (MBS 697 1 hour each, 4 hours total)

4) three-four semesters of non-thesis research (MBS 698,  6 hours total)

5) one-two semesters of thesis research (MBS 699, 6 hours total)

6) electives (9 hours total).

Students have the option of earning a concentration by completing at least nine elective credit hours in a single subject area. Because ABM students can share up to 12 hours of electives for both their B.S. and M.S. degrees, they may substitute one 3-hour elective for 3 hours of MBS 698, assuming they will have completed at least six hours of undergraduate research at the 300-level before graduation.

Research 

Plan I ABM students must complete five separate semesters of research totaling a minimum of 12 credit hours, including a recommended 6 hours of MBS 698 (non-thesis research) over three-four semesters, and a required minimum of 6 hours of MBS 699 (thesis research) over one-two semesters (at least one semester is required). When registered for MBS 698 or MBS 699, students are expected to work on average a minimum of 15-20 hours/week on their research projects. Plan I students will form a committee of three faculty that is chaired by their thesis adviser and are required to hold a minimum of three committee meetings (1: introductory; 2: qualifying exam; 3: thesis defense; additional meetings may be needed depending on student progress). The thesis project must be approved by the student's committee. For the qualifying exam, Plan I students are expected to prepare a seven page "NIH-style" grant proposal, plus a separate reference section, that is adjusted to the scope of their research project, and vet their proposals in front of their committee. Students are expected to qualify for thesis candidacy by the end of their fourth semester in the Program. If there are any delays in this timeline, the student will be required to take additional credit hours of MBS 698 non-thesis research each semester, resulting in at least 7 or greater total hours of MBS 698, until they qualify for thesis candidacy. Following qualification for thesis candidacy, Plan I students are required to complete a thesis document of their research findings and defend it publicly as a presentation to their committee and others (e.g., students, lab members, family members), which is followed immediately by a private defense with their committee. Plan I students typically work on their research projects for all five semesters while they are in the program. Before students begin their research they must complete all lab-specific safety training. Students must also complete Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training for MS students before the end of their first semester registered for MBS 698.
