Bioscience - Keck Graduate Institute

Bioscience from Keck Graduate Institute is a Campus Master Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The Master of Bioscience (MBS) challenges you to move past compartmentalized subject matter to unlock the relationships between business, engineering, and science. It takes two intense years of cross-disciplinary study and real-world projects with leaders in the bioscience industry. The program includes a hands-on internship and a capstone Team Master's Project. The degree proves to be as dynamic as the experience of obtaining it. Student Background and Preparation All applicants must have received at least a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college, or its international equivalent, prior to enrollment. Of the factors considered during the selection process, academic preparation, practical experience, and career aspirations will be foremost. Although a major in the natural/life sciences, pre-med, mathematics, engineering, or computer science is likely to provide the most thorough academic preparation for our program, it is not a prerequisite for admission. However, the demanding and broad reach of technical training at KGI requires a comparable level of requisite knowledge and skills. Ideal preparation would include coursework in the following areas: Molecular biology/basic genetics Chemistry and biochemistry Organic chemistry Statistics Mathematics (at least calculus; differential equations helpful) Work experience in fields directly related to biotechnology, engineering, computing, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and instrumentation, and medical, environmental, and agricultural biotechnology is looked upon favorably by the Admissions Committee. Employment in areas of policy planning, regulation, and businesses closely allied with the life sciences also provides relevant experience. View more details on Keck Graduate Institute .
