Description

The graduate program in biological sciences at California State University San Marcos leads to a research-based Master of Science degree.  Our program provides the opportunity for students to receive advanced training in biological sciences and to pursue independent research investigations in specialized areas of interest.  Laboratory and/or field research is an integral component of the program, which emphasizes a "hands-on" approach with close faculty mentoring. Research experience also enables students to hone investigative skills related to experimental design & implementation, and data analysis & interpretation.  Another important feature of our program is the Teaching Assistantship requirement, which is designed to give students the opportunity to discuss and implement pedagogical strategies employed in science education.  Graduates with a MS in Biological Sciences will be prepared not only to continue study at the Ph.D. level, but also to successfully pursue careers in private industry or government affiliated labs and agencies, and to teach at the college level.
