Master of Science - Biology

Whether students want to develop new medicines to cure diseases, create crop-enhancing technologies, work for the Environmental Protection Agency, or teach and lead research at a university, an advanced degree in biological sciences will help them get there.

In this program, students will choose one of two-degree options: 1) biology; or 2) microbiology, molecular biology, and biochemistry. Depending on student's career goals and interests, they will work alongside faculty members who are leading research in reproductive biology, evolution, and ecology, neurobiology, or cellular and molecular biology.

As a graduate student, students will design and conduct experiments, teach undergraduate students in the classroom and lab, complete courses in professional development and ethical issues in biological research.
