Basic Science Master of Science

The Master of Science in Basic Science (MSBS) program at Clarkson is intended for science professionals who are interested in returning to graduate school to further their scientific knowledge and background as it applies to their chosen profession. The Center for Health Sciences offers a Health Sciences focus, intended for health-care practitioners and those interested in health-related science, who want to enhance their contribution to their profession through advanced study. As such, the Health Sciences MSBS is not a professional entry-level degree. The MSBS program provides a broad base of scientific understanding as well as a focus in one area of interest. The curriculum has been structured to allow students to participate part-time, while continuing professional employment.
