The Master of Science in Reproductive Science & Medicine (MS-RSM) is a full-time, terminal Master of Science degree focusing on human reproductive biology and medicine. The program offers reproductive science coursework, including a hands-on laboratory course, as well as professional development. The program also includes mentored research with Northwestern University faculty. Students are also a part of a vibrant community of reproductive scientists through the Center for Reproductive Science. 

We offer a unique, standalone, graduate-level curriculum in reproductive science and medicine. Our core curriculum includes foundational didactic courses and hands-on laboratory instruction in male and female reproductive anatomy, histology, physiology and endocrinology and advanced topic courses in human reproductive health and disease. To generate well-rounded and wholistic scientists in our field, our core curriculum also includes reproductive science-focused responsible conduct of research, scientific communication and professional development. In addition to the core curriculum, students perform research either through the thesis or non-thesis tracks.

We also offer a dual degree program for thesis students. Master of Science in Reproductive Science and Medicine (MS-RSM) and Master of Arts in Medical Humanities and Bioethics (MA-MHB) Dual Degree Program. The mission of the RSM-MHB dual degree program is to combine the formal training in the fields of reproductive science and medicine provided by RSM with a rigorous exploration of medicine and its ethical implications through the perspectives of anthropology, literature, philosophy, history, and law provided by MHB. 

This community features independent research projects from our thesis students and from our dual degree students.
