ASU is no longer accepting new students to this program. Please explore Degree Search for other similar program options.
The Master of Science in Translational Biomedical Sciences can be completed in one year. The program is administered through the College of Health Solutions and the coursework is delivered at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. The program will focus on metabolic disease and its translation from bench science to bedside clinical care and community interventions. Students will be able to translate knowledge, mechanisms and techniques discovered by bench science into new approaches for diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disease within the clinic and community. The master's program will provide an excellent foundation for students who would like to pursue a future medical professional degree (MD, DO, PA, RN), an advanced translational biomedical degree (PhD), or to gain employment related to this field.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
