该研究生课程在生物科学系的任务是通过提供强大的技术背景，对当前科学问题的良好理解以及解决此类问题所需的分析技能，来促进下一代科学家的发展。我们的教师几乎在生物科学的每个子学科中都追求广泛的研究兴趣。为了便于讨论，可以将这项工作粗略地分为两类：生态学，进化和系统学，以及分子和细胞生物学。通过我们的教员目录了解各个教员的兴趣，项目和出版物，这些目录可以按研究专业进行筛选。生态学，进化论和系统学（EES）系的研究重点主要是水生生物学，具有将淡水生物多样性，进化和生态系统研究联系在一起的研究实力和纲领性主题。
Immerse yourself in the investigation of the growth, structure, development, and other characteristics of microscopic organisms and their surrounding ecology. A Master of Science degree in Biological Sciences at University of Houston-Clear Lake will help you build a broad base of knowledge in the life sciences as you study the relationships between various microorganisms and their greater environment.<br>This two-year program combines equal parts coursework and original research – right from the beginning. Graduates from can further their studies in a Ph.D. program or pursue a range of postgraduate opportunities, including a career in biotechnology, education or in a government laboratory or agency.<br>The graduate plan in Biological Sciences leads to the master of science degree. Applicants for candidacy should have a bachelor's degree in Biology, although applicants with other degrees may apply if their degrees or preparation include a significant number of plan core courses in the Biological Sciences, as well as appropriate chemistry, physics and mathematics courses.
