Within the Master of Science degree program, students may choose between one thesis and two different non-thesis MS options: Master of Science Thesis, Master of Science Non-Thesis (Option #1), or Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T. - Option #2) . The programs are tailored to the needs and interests of the student, in five areas: Biotechnology, Microbiology, Ecology, Marine Biology, and Environmental Sciences. Students may enroll on a full or part-time basis; all receive guidance from a faculty advisor. Normally, the degree is completed within two years full-time or four years part-time. A Masters degree in biology prepares students for graduate study in Ph.D., health profession programs, teaching, research, or careers in business or government.
