Description

A master's degree can provide research experience and specialized training before entering a Ph.D. program or it can be an end in itself. Students with advanced training, one or two publications, and a strong laboratory or field research experience are in demand in biotech, pharmaceuticals, resource management, and environmental consulting.

The goals of the Biology graduate program are to:

  • Generate a productive academic community of students dedicated to performing high quality, publishable research within a two-year program.
  • Produce graduates with both specialized training in their chosen subdisciplines as well as communication skills to effectively function within a broad-based scientific community.
  • Equip students with a range of research and teaching proficiencies that will significantly enhance their scientific or professional career opportunities.
  • Foster close academic interactions between faculty and graduate students.

The major emphasis of our program is an M.S. degree; only under special circumstances, and with the consent of the graduate committee, may students change from the M.S. to the M.A. degree program . Very rarely are students admitted to the M.A. track program.
