KGI’s two-year MBS program prepares graduates for exciting careers in the bioscience industries. The program integrates graduate level courses in science and bioscience management. Students have opportunities to work with biotech, pharmaceutical, and healthcare companies, preparing them for influential careers and leadership positions in industry.
The MBS is a two-year residential program that integrates interdisciplinary instruction in translational science, business, and regulatory affairs. The program emphasizes industry experiences throughout the curriculum, both within courses and directly.
Few other schools offer students the real world practice KGI students gain during the TMP,
in which teams of three-to-five students work with sponsoring companies in a year-long consulting assignment to solve real problems. Students form interdisciplinary teams and work with faculty and industrial advisors to perform contract research. The projects include both business and technical aspects. Student teams create budgets, develop timelines, and describe deliverables. At the end of the academic year, they present a report of their work at the company and KGI.
