About Biochemistry And Molecular Biology, Scm in Johns Hopkins University

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology offers two different master's degrees: The Master of Health Science (MHS) and the Master of Science (ScM). For the ScM degree, MHS students transfer to the ScM program and continue in a second year after completion of the first-year coursework. In this second year, you do laboratory research in one of the BMB primary appointment faculty members. The active labs with available space and appropriate projects for ScM students will vary from year to year, but can include Drs. Bailey, Culotta, Drummond-Barbosa, Jordan, Kavran, Leung, Matunis, McMacken, Wan, Wang, Wright, and Zirkin, as well as joint BMB appointees with training privileges, Marsha Wills-Karp, Photini Sinnis, Sabra Klein, Sean Prigge, Ann Hamacher-Brady, and Alan Meeker. The ScM degree work culminates in the writing of an ScM thesis (literature review and research report). Students start their research in June after the MHS coursework year, and then complete their research and thesis in the next spring-summer (~12-13 months). Tuition is reduced for the ScM year as compared to what students pay for the MHS coursework year. This typically is ~25% of the MHS year tuition. Questions about the ScM program can be directed to, Dr. Phil Jordan (director of the ScM program) or the Academic Program Coordinator. In a given year, typically ~10-25% of the MHS students are successful in obtaining a position for ScM research.
