The special master’s program (SMP) is a graduate level post-baccalaureate, and has an 80 percent success rate in getting its graduates accepted into health-related programs. Students are paired with an advisor, and together they create a curriculum plan unique to the student’s goals. Students may register in courses, pursue a research project under the instruction of a faculty member outside of our department, and may complete the program in a timeline that suits their ability. The SMP is also valuable for students looking to explore career options across multiple disciplines, and those who want to try graduate research before committing to a program.
