作为生物学家，您必须具有创造力，创新性，并且要有耐心地工作多年才能在科学领域进行发现。在休斯敦-透明湖大学获得生物科学理学硕士学位的人，可以为您实现目标提供所需的优势-无论是生物医学研究，教学还是博士学位。如果您对生命的细胞和分子基础以及将分子技术应用于医学，技术和环境问题感兴趣，我们建议您学习细胞/分子/生物技术。生物科学的研究生计划将导致获得理学硕士学位（MS）。候选资格的申请者应具有生物学学士学位，但是拥有其他学位的申请者也可以申请，如果他们的学位或预备课程包括大量的生物科学计划核心课程以及适当的化
The graduate programs in Biological Sciences lead to either a Master of Arts (MA) or a Master of Science (MS) degree and provides an opportunity for students to receive advanced training and to pursue independent investigations in particular fields of biology. It allows students to upgrade their qualifications for educational advancement to doctoral programs or for professional advancement in teaching, laboratory work, or fieldwork. The MA degree requires the completion of a project which is a Grant Proposal, unless the student is in the Stem Cell Concentration which requires an Internship Project Report. The MS degree requires completion of a thesis which has concentrations in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation and in Molecular and Cellular Biology so as to provide advanced training and research experience in these fields.All students are required to complete a project or thesis involving field, laboratory, or literature research. The project or thesis research may be conducted on campus with a biology faculty member or at an off-campus location. In either case, the student's research must make a new contribution to the field of biology. If the research is conducted off campus, a biology faculty member must be identified as the student's graduate advisor. Following admission to the program, students are advised by a temporary graduate advisor or by the faculty member who has agreed to supervise the student in their project/thesis research. Students should plan their academic programs in consultation with a graduate advisor as early as possible, preferably prior to enrollment in the program.
