生物学是一门瞬息万变的科学，它融合了分子和细胞生物学，行为和分子生态学，发育生物学，有机，生态和进化遗传学，微生物学，航空生物学，分子系统学和神经科学。灵活的学位要求导致了在生物学，健康领域以及专业或研究生院的职业。学生直接与指定研究领域的教职员工合作，并与主管教授协商后计划课程计划和总体研究目标。我们为这些研究生做好教育，工业和政府职业或继续研究生学习的准备。研究生可以获得广泛的研究机会，包括生物信息学，细胞和分子生物学，发育生物学，生态学，遗传学，微生物学，分子系统学，神经科学，病毒学和其他领域的基础
The Department of Biological Sciences offers an integrated program of coursework leading to the Master of Science degree in Biological Sciences. <br>Students may choose to pursue either the thesis or non-thesis option. The thesis option allows students to undertake research in areas of Evolution/Ecology or Molecular Biology/Biochemistry and requires a substantial, independent laboratory or field project culminating in a thesis. The non-thesis option allows students to take coursework, experience internships, and develop a capstone project in Biomedical Sciences.<br><br>All Master of Science students are required to complete a minimum of 30 graduate credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. The course requirement provides students with basic understanding and skills in the Biological or Biomedical Sciences, while allowing individuals to tailor the specific coursework to meet their needs.
