伦斯勒（Rensselaer）拥有生物化学和生物物理学的硕士学位，为学生在生物技术，制药和其他相关行业的工作做好准备。它也非常适合希望在行业中工作时提高技能的学生，或在继续医学，兽医学，牙科，法律，商业等专业学习之前获得更多培训的学生。具有本科学历的人与现代生物科学没有密切关系的项目也可能会受益。在生物化学和生物物理学课程中均可获得理学硕士学位和应用科学硕士学位。每个课程总共需要30个学时。
The Master of Science in Biochemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Missouri–St. Louis is offered in cooperation with the Department of Biology and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. This integrated, interdisciplinary degree program covers both the basic principles and the technological applications of biochemistry and biotechnology, providing candidates with the training they need to take advantage of the many job opportunities in the life sciences industry. Most courses are offered in formats that accommodate working students, and online options are available in many, but not all, semesters. An Emphasis in Professional Science option is also available to offer a unique perspective on the business, financial and legal aspects of biotechnology research.<br>The Biology Department ranks in the top 20 percent of the nation’s research institutions, based on scholarly productivity and federal research grant funding. Both biology and chemistry students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research projects under the guidance of faculty. Science students benefit from the Science Learning Building, a 32 million addition to the UMSL science complex that provides state-of-the-art, dedicated teaching lab spaces for students.<br>Outcomes and Career Outlook<br>Many students engage in individual research projects in the labs of biochemistry and biotechnology faculty members, and many graduates are employed in industry or academic laboratories. Graduates have also gone on to pursue further training in PhD programs or professional schools of optometry, dentistry, medicine or veterinary medicine.
