Rowan-Virtua SOM and GSBS
The Stratford campus is home to both Rowan-Virtua SOM and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. In addition to offering D.O. degrees, students who are interested in pursuing biomedical and scientific research opportunities should explore the variety of degrees offered through GSBS.
- Ph.D. in Molecular Cell Biology and Neuroscience: Cutting-edge cell biology, molecular biology and neuroscience training, with a strong record in student publications and career opportunities.
- M.S. in Molecular Cell Biology and Neuroscience: Designed for students considering a doctoral program, a career in academia or biomedical research.
- M.S. in Anatomical Sciences and a Certificate in the Anatomical Sciences (for students with a Ph.D.): Innovative program focused on training individuals qualified to teach gross anatomy to medical students and other allied health students.
- Master in Biomedical Sciences and a Certificate in the Biomedical Sciences: Intensive curriculum to prepare for medical school and other health-related professions.
- M.S. in Histopathology: Hands-on experience using in vivo models and primary tissue to prepare students for a career in histopathology.
- M.S. in Molecular Pathology and Immunology: Prepares students for careers in molecular diagnostics.
Accelerated B.S./M.S. Programs
GSBS has partnered with the College of Science and Mathematics of Rowan University to offer high-achieving students the opportunity to complete a master's degree and bachelor's degree in five years, rather than the traditional six. Students begin taking graduate level classes in their senior year, accelerating their advanced studies while still at the undergraduate level. The undergraduate degrees include:
- Biochemistry
- Bioinformatics
- Biophysics
- Molecular and Cellular Biology
- Translational Biomedical Sciences
This five-year dual degree is designed to link undergraduate and graduate research programs and prepare students for the rigors of Ph.D. programs, professional schools or careers in biomedical research.
