The M.S. Program in Biomedical Sciences is oriented primarily toward
graduates of dental programs and students enrolled in a specialty clinical
program at Baylor College of Dentistry.
This program is also well suited
for dental specialists from countries other than the United States who
desire to obtain or improve their background in dental research.
Present
dental students at Baylor College of Dentistry and non-dental students
with a baccalaureate degree in the biological sciences are also
eligible to apply for the M.S. Program in Biomedical Sciences.
For present dental students and for students with a D.D.S. degree or
equivalent, whether or not they are enrolled concomitantly in a
clinical specialty program, the primary objectives of the M.S. program
are:
- To provide training in basic biomedical sciences and modern research
methods.
- To equip students with the basic information and tools for critical analysis
of the literature necessary to be life-long learners in the oral health sciences.
- To
prepare students for participation on clinical dental faculties.
An additional benefit of the M.S. in Biomedical Sciences is that predoctoral
students and students in the dental specialty programs at Baylor College
of Dentistry will become more competitive for admission to training
programs in the dental clinical specialties and Ph.D. programs.
For students with a B.A./B. S. degree only, the primary objective of
the M.S. program is to provide training in basic biomedical sciences
and modern research methods. This training will enhance opportunities
for careers as educators in secondary schools and junior colleges and
as technicians and research associates in modern biological laboratories.
The Masters in Biomedical Sciences is also
appropriate for students who
wish to pursue research and enhance their educational experience in further
preparation for admission to dental and medical schools, and advanced
graduate (Ph.D.) programs.
The M.S. Program in Biomedical Sciences offers
concentrations in the following fields of study central to the oral health
sciences:
- Anatomy
- Molecular and Cellular Biology
- Neuroscience
- Microbiology/Immunology
- Physiology/Pharmacology
