Learn More About the Program

The M.A.S. degree in Clinical Research is intended for working health professionals who have a high level of interest and potential to pursue innovative translational research (ranging from pre-clinical to clinical to community-based), and a long-term goal of pursuing a translational research career. Typical students are Junior Faculty clinicians, fellows, and medical students on a research track, who are currently at a medical research institute and who have the ability and desire to conduct long-term research studies. Our program is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion and would especially welcome applications from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups.
