What You’ll Learn
The Online Master of Science in Clinical & Translational Research prepares students to take on new roles in and around clinical research.
- Understand the foundational aspects of research methods and emerging tools for clinical investigation
- Gain real-world project experience in the classroom and through capstone projects
- Apply the methods and skills learned in your current environment
Our courses are aligned with NIH’s core competencies in clinical and translational research. Our mandatory capstone project is a summative assessment of the student’s knowledge in reviewing the literature, development of clear and testable hypotheses, selection of appropriate methods and a rigorous data analysis plan, consideration of research ethics with human subjects, and clarity of presentations and responses to questions.
Areas of Concentration
Students choose one of three areas of concentration based on their research interests, and take elective courses associated with their concentration.

Career Advancement
Our students benefit from the services of the Biomedical Graduate Education career office, including one-on-one advising, skills workshops, leadership programs and more.
