What will I learn?

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Diagnostics/Medical Sciences (MS) 4+1 is available for highly motivated undergraduate students to complete the Medical Diagnostics (BS) degree and the Medical Sciences (MS) degree in a total of five years of full-time study. All requirements for both degree programs must be satisfied. This program applies to students in the Medical Diagnostics (BS) program with the Pre-Physician Assistant concentration as well. See program pages for each degree (and concentration if applicable) for a full list of requirements.

Interested students in the Medical Diagnostics major should apply for the BS/MS 4+1 program in the spring of their sophomore year. Students are required to have a 3.0 GPA at the time of application to the BS/MS 4+1 program. Qualified students will be admitted to the 4+1 in the junior year but must complete the 120 credit Medical Diagnostics BS degree to continue in the 4+1 program.

Students will take a maximum of 6 credits of graduate coursework (600 level and above) that will be “dual-counted†for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students will work with their advisor to select courses that meet their interests and goals and that will fulfill requirements for both degree programs.

Students will complete an additional 26 credits of graduate coursework required for the MS in Medical Sciences degree upon completion of the undergraduate degree.

Students must achieve a minimum 3.0 GPA (B average) in their graduate work to earn the MS in Medical Sciences (no course grade below C- will apply to the graduate program requirements).
