Department of Biological Sciences
The Department of Biological Sciences offers Master of Science (MS) in Biology.
The M.S. in Biology is a research-based degree in which the M.S. candidate will complete a thesis based on original research carried out by the student. The thesis should make a significant contribution to the body of scientific knowledge and be of sufficient quality to warrant publication in a peer-reviewed journal. M.S. students are expected to produce a written thesis proposal and give an oral presentation of that proposal during their first year in the program. Following the completion of the thesis, students will give an oral presentation of the defense to present the results of their research to the public.
