UJ Launches Two Cutting-Edge Online Graduate Programs in Medical Sciences and Digital Medicine

Jamestown, ND (12/15/2025) — University of Jamestown is redefining what it means to prepare for the future of healthcare. We're thrilled to announce the launch of two innovative, fully online graduate degrees: the Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS) and the Master of Science in Computational Pathology & Digital Medicine (MSCPDM).

At the heart of these programs is Dr. Amy Jo Marcano-Reik, DPM, PhD, an accomplished educator whose unique journey from clinical practice to research leadership reflects resilience, curiosity, and a passion for student success. "Every student has a unique story and a unique path," says Dr. Marcano-Reik. "Whether you're pivoting careers, preparing for medical or dental school, or ready to lead in healthcare's digital transformation, we're here to help you thrive."

Who Should Apply?

  • MSMS is ideal for recent graduates strengthening credentials for medical or dental school, career changers entering healthcare, and professionals seeking a competitive edge. Graduates pursue roles such as medical school matriculants, clinical research coordinators, biomedical analysts, and medical science liaisons.
  • MSCPDM is designed for innovators at the intersection of medicine and technology, those eager to harness AI, data analytics, and digital tools to transform patient care. This rapidly growing field opens doors to careers that didn't exist a few years ago, from designing digital clinical trials to bridging data science and patient care.

"These programs put students at the forefront of innovation and patient impact," adds Dr. Paul Olson, Executive Vice President. "They're not just degrees, they're launchpads for the future of healthcare."

Both programs are 100% online, offering flexibility without compromising quality. Students gain direct access to expert faculty, industry leaders, and cutting-edge research in small, interactive classes that foster collaboration and community. Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), these programs deliver nationally recognized excellence.
