Biomedical Sciences

As a biomedical sciences student, you'll work closely with a mentor who will help you expand your research skills, get published in scientific journals and present at conferences. Our close relationship with the main USC campus gives you access to all of the state-of-the-art technology and funding that you would expect from a Tier 1 research university.

Find Your Place

The mentor/mentee relationship is extremely important to our program. That's why we work hard to ensure each student will be able to find a home in a particular lab. We'll ask about your research interests before you're accepted to the program. Once you're here you'll have the freedom to rotate through different labs to find the best fit before you select a mentor.
