Admissions
This program focuses on multidisciplinary research skills needed to carry out bench to bedside translational research. The primary objective of the program is to train individuals to combine basic science knowledge with clinical knowledge and population research in an academic program that awards a credential indicating expertise in research study design, biostatistics, translational research technologies, experimental therapeutics, and pathophysiology. Individuals eligible for this program must have a B.S. degree with a concentration in a science or math related discipline. The core courses for the M.S. in Translational Research are: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Health Informatics, Pathophysiology, Translational Research Methods, Experimental Therapeutics, PC for SAS, and Translational Research Seminars. Course work is completed in one year of full-time study with a mentored research project that, in most cases, will extend beyond the completion of the course work.
Applicants must submit the following:
- Application for Graduate Admission and Financial Aid
- Personal Statement
- Official transcripts from all previous college and graduate programs
- Three letters of recommendation from former instructors or employers
- Official GRE scores are required of all applicants unless they have another graduate level degree from a U.S. or Canadian university. (Other official standardized test scores such as MCAT is also accepted.)
- Official TOEFL is required from all applicants for whom English is not a primary language
- Writing sample (term papers, essays, technical reports, grant applications are all appropriate forms). Please send writing sample only directly to Pattie_Kolomic@urmc.rochester.edu
