Curriculum and Instructional Design
Students from both the General Studies and Leadership tracks will take a core pre-clinical science curriculum based on courses from the Physician Associate Studies MS program (PAS). To individualize each student’s Plan of Study, electives are selected from graduate courses in General Science, Molecular Science, Neuroscience, and Public Health/Gerontology (BIO, CHM, GTY, KNH, MBI). For students who follow the Leadership track, additional courses from the Farmer School of Business are selected (FIN, ISA, MGT, MKT). A Certificate in Business Management is earned (available starting Summer 2024). The culminating experience for the MMSc degree is a Capstone that encourages individual and group reflection through journal entries, discussion groups, and individualized conferences. Students complete the Capstone with a strong sense of their potential for unique contributions to the future of healthcare.
