The thesis research is completed in one additional year, ordinarily between the student’s second and third medical school years. The MS for medical students provides an opportunity for students to engage in research training and to fulfill the thesis requirement without significant additional coursework. Exemptions are ordinarily permitted for courses taken as medical students at Rush (or possibly other institutions), subject to review by the departmental Graduate Advisory Committee. The programs in Anatomy and Cell Biology are well-suited to medical students interested in pursuing an MS or PhD degree because of significant overlap in required coursework for these programs. Specific divisional admission requirements may be waived at the discretion of the Division of Anatomy and Cell Biology’s Graduate Advisory Committee, thus giving the student advanced standing in either the master’s or doctoral programs.Īnatomy and Cell Biology: Advanced Placement Students with backgrounds supporting interests in biomechanics or kinesiology should contact the Program Director.Īcceptable academic and test performances (GPA/GRE/MCAT/TOEFL) are described in The Graduate College guidelines. Preferences for majors in biological sciences should include laboratory experience as well as coursework experience in anatomy, physiology, cell and molecular biology, and embryology/developmental biology.

Consideration is given to the student’s area of interest with respect to the expertise of individual faculty. The Division of Anatomy and Cell Biology seeks students whose backgrounds demonstrate motivation toward research and teaching as well as a capacity for independent study. Rush Medical College students must go on a leave of absence from the Medical College while pursuing an MS or PhD degree in The Graduate College and will reenter Rush Medical College upon graduation from The Graduate College. Applications, however, will be considered on a rolling basis for applicants to the MS or PhD degree program who are enrolled in Rush Medical College or other individuals eligible for advanced standing, e.g., in post-professional master’s work. Anatomy and Cell Biology: Admission RequirementsĪpplicants are encouraged to complete their application files by April 1, preceding the intended date of admission since the course cycle begins in the fall semester.
