BSM students must accumulate 36 academic credits to earn their Master’s degree in the BSM track, including at least 24 credits from a scientific curriculum of required and elective courses and a minimum of 8 credits from a professional skills curriculum consisting of one required and several elective course options. Students must also complete an approved internship at a participating partner company or institution and a “capstone” report on the internship project.
Students in the BSM program matriculate in one of the six basic science Master’s programs. Didactic courses are taken during the regular Graduate School evening sessions in the Fall, Spring or Summer academic terms. Some elective professional skills courses are available through NYMC’s School of Health Sciences and Practice, and some of these are available as online offerings. Students must apply for an internship position at an approved company, agency or institution. The capstone is either a professional description and critical analysis of the internship project, or, if this is precluded by proprietary concerns, a scholarly literature review. A summary of the Master of Science degree requirements can be found here.
