Department of Biology
The Department of Biology aims to train graduate students in integrative research, with a curriculum that exposes students to the major sub-disciplines of biology and a program that allows enough flexibility to develop interdisciplinary work. Our major strengths include tropical biology, ecology & evolutionary biology, and developmental biology and neuroscience. Our department has strong ties with the Department of Mathematics, Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science, the Miller School of Medicine, the Abess Center for Environmental Science & Policy and the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Students can be co-sponsored by faculty from these programs.
Our M.S. program has two tracks requiring 30-36 of graduate credits: Masters with a thesis (including a proposal and oral defenses of original thesis), or Masters without thesis.
