Program Overview

Pre-Medical Master’s Program

Earn a Master of Science (MSc) in Biomedical Science and get automatic admission to the MD program.

Pre-Med / MSc in Biological Science

The Pre-Med Master’s Program is an accelerated medical education program for career changers with an undergraduate-level degree and some foundational science coursework. After successfully completing this 2-semester, 8-month program and achieving academic and professional benchmarks, students are awarded a Master of Science (MSc) in Biomedical Science and are accepted to MUA’s 4-Year MD Program.

Why the Pre-Med Master’s Program?

Academic Preparedness

The Master’s program prepares students with upper-level science coursework designed to build a strong foundation necessary for academic success in medical school. The accelerated curriculum mirrors the pace and rigor of medical school, offering students a unique opportunity to sharpen their academic skills in a demanding environment. Courses are led by professors with extensive expertise in their fields, ensuring a high-quality educational experience.

Student-Centered Schedules

The curriculum was designed to be accessible to students around the world. It is offered on-campus or online, with classes starting either in January, May, or September. Full-time, part-time, and asynchronous attendance options are also available. However, we do recommend that students strongly consider the in-person, full-time option, as that will allow you to focus completely on your studies and best prepare you to successfully navigate and complete the program.

Individualized Support

Our faculty and staff are committed to helping each student achieve their goal of entering medical school and going on to become a practicing doctor. From day one, we work closely with students to help them successfully engage with the material and optimize their learning experiences. Faculty provide dedicated office hours where students can ask questions, and our extensive student support services, such as The Learning Center, provide both academic and personal strategies to help students successfully navigate the requirements of their medical studies.

Admissions Requirements

• Entry Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an accredited institution.
• Completed Coursework: General Chemistry (½ Year or 1 Term) is required. It is strongly suggested that applicants complete General Biology and additional science coursework as well.
• English Proficiency: Since English is the language of instruction at MUA, it is important that applicants be prepared academically to pursue the curriculum and be able to communicate effectively. Applicants whose principal language is not English may be required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or another comparable test.
