The Master of Science in Reproductive Science and Medicine (MS-RSM) is a full-time, terminal Master of Science degree focusing on human reproductive biology and medicine. We offer thesis and non-thesis tracks to meet the needs of our applicants and their professional goals. The mission of the MS-RSM program is to provide fundamental reproductive science training with a focus on applications to human health. The MS-RSM program is administered by the Center for Reproductive Science (CRS) and is part of The Graduate School (TGS) of Northwestern University. Admitted students are only eligible for Master of Science (MS) degrees and matriculate during fall quarters. The program is rigorous and includes structured reproductive science coursework, hands-on laboratory instruction, seminars, and research. Research is a cornerstone of our program and all students receive laboratory instruction. Core courses are completed in 3 quarters (fall, winter, spring) for both the thesis and non-thesis tracks. Non-thesis track students complete structured hypothesis driven research in a classroom setting during the second and third quarters. Thesis track students continue in the program for 3 additional quarters after completing core courses bringing the total program length to 6 quarters. Students on both tracks may opt to continue research for an additional quarter.
