Overview
Medicine-related programs cover the health professions and medical sciences outside the MD itself. The grouping includes fields such as nursing, dentistry, physical therapy, nutrition, biomedical science and rehabilitation, each combining scientific study with clinical or laboratory training.
Many master's degrees in this grouping are professional, leading to licensure as a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, therapist or dietitian. Others are research master's, and PhD programs train scientists and faculty who investigate disease, treatment and care.
Medicine-related fields offer one of the widest choices of programs, according to our data. Graduates work in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, research institutes and health technology firms. Aging populations keep demand strong for advanced practice nurses, physical and occupational therapists and physician assistants in many countries.
Most Health & Medical Sciences programs charge between $18,000 and $73,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $13,000 and $102,000.
