Master's of Science in Clinical Research
The Master's of Science in Clinical Research is a State of Illinois certified program leading to the M.S. degree. This two-year program is designed to provide the candidate with the formal training needed to apply for, design, carry-out, interpret, and submit final reports on clinical research studies. This is accomplished through formal course work, workshops, laboratory experiences, and mentored hands-on, clinical research experience. The degree requires a Master's thesis. Students with the following degrees are encouraged to apply: MD, DO, PharmD, PhD, as well as any other professional degree. Individuals with a BS or nursing degrees can also apply, but will be required to include GRE scores.
