The Master of Science in Cancer Biology and Translational Oncology at Emory University is a comprehensive 4+1 program designed to provide outstanding graduate-level training in all aspects of cancer research, covering topics from molecular and cellular biology to translational approaches and therapeutic development. The program integrates rigorous core coursework (such as Cancer Biology I & II and Advanced Graduate Seminars) with significant laboratory research. Students develop expertise in mechanisms of cancer development, metastasis, and gain exposure to advanced research methods, ultimately culminating in a Master’s Thesis and oral defense.
The program is open exclusively to Emory undergraduates with a strong science background and is not directly open to external applicants; Oxford College students can complete their first two years at Oxford and then transition to Emory College to join the program. Applicants need prior coursework in biology, organic chemistry, math, physics, and biochemistry, and prior research experience is highly recommended.
**Admission requirements (for 2025 entry):**
- Emory undergraduate status (typically Emory College—Oxford College serves the first two years)
- Strong background in physical, biological, or behavioral sciences
- Required courses: Foundations of Modern Biology I/II with labs, upper-level biology (Cell & Molecular area), one semester each in organic chemistry (with lab), math, physics, statistics, and biochemistry, plus prior research experience is recommended
- International applicants: TOEFL (recommended score 100)
**Tuition (2025):** $67,080 for the one-year MS phase, plus Emory undergraduate tuition for the initial four years.
The program prepares students for careers or further education in biomedical research, oncology, and related life sciences.
