\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Master of Science in Biohazardous Threat Agents & Emerging Infectious Diseases is a one-year program designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the concepts of biological risk, disease threat, and mitigation strategies. The curriculum covers classic biological threats agents, global health security, emerging diseases, technologies, CBRN risk mitigation, and CBRN security. Graduates of our program are employed in both public health and security-focused positions across government and private sector organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our program faculty are technical experts in various fields including: the basic sciences; science policy; biosecurity; biodefense; threat assessment and mitigation; health security; zoonotic diseases; chemical and radiological security; and emerging technologies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program curriculum encourages students to pursue internship opportunities. At the center of Washington, D.C., our students are surrounded by opportunities to gain real-world experience in think tanks, startups, nonprofits, national intelligence agencies, and federal agencies. Internships are a great way to apply classroom concepts in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduates of our program are employed in both public health and security-focused positions across government and private sector organizations, while others go on to obtain a Ph.D., M.D., or other professional degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomedical Science Policy & Advocacy Concentration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our MS concentration in Biomedical Science Policy & Advocacy<\/a> is a gateway to the science policy world in Washington, D.C., and beyond. Students are introduced to policy and draft a science-related bill as a capstone project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
