Newman University's Master of Biomedical Science program enhances medical school applications through advanced coursework, research opportunities, faculty recommendations, and MCAT preparation, all within a flexible one-year curriculum costing $13,500.
-- Newman University's Master of Biomedical Science program strengthens medical school applications through advanced coursework that parallels first-year medical school curriculum. Students study biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, cell biology, and immunology—subjects that demonstrate to admissions committees their readiness for medical education. This graduate-level performance can help offset lower undergraduate GPAs, providing a more recent and relevant indicator of academic capability.

The program includes optional research opportunities that help applications stand out from other candidates. This laboratory experience builds valuable scientific skills and shows dedication to inquiry—qualities medical school admissions committees specifically look for when evaluating applicants. Students can incorporate these research experiences into their personal statements and interviews, providing concrete examples of their scientific aptitude.
Faculty members provide detailed recommendation letters based on direct observation of student performance in medically-relevant contexts. These assessments from graduate professors who have worked closely with students in small group settings carry substantial weight in the admissions process. Unlike undergraduate recommendations that might come from large lecture courses, graduate faculty can speak specifically to a student's critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and professional behavior.
Students often report improved MCAT performance after completing the program. The curriculum covers the same scientific principles tested on the MCAT, including Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, and critical analysis skills. This comprehensive knowledge helps students tackle the application-based questions that require both factual knowledge and analytical reasoning.
The program costs $450 per credit hour ($13,500 total for 30 credits) and can be completed in one year across three semesters. With enrollment options in fall (August), spring (January), and summer (June), students can begin at different points in their application timeline. The schedule allows for part-time work of 15-20 hours weekly alongside academic responsibilities, with some students finding on-campus employment as teaching or laboratory assistants that complement their studies.
For students planning to apply to medical school, the ideal time to start the program is approximately 15-18 months prior to their desired medical school start date. This timeline allows for completion of the program, MCAT preparation if needed, and assembly of a strengthened application package.
