生物学硕士课程集中于生物医学专业，旨在培养学生从事工业，学术界或临床环境的研究。学生可以在任何生物科学系任教，也可以被医学院录取。它还为可能想要注册MD / PhD计划的学生做准备。对于在研究生院录取中表现良好但尚未为医学院入学做好充分准备，并希望通过在纯生物医学或应用生物医学方面进行深入研究的经验来提高其批判性思维能力的学生，他们可能会感兴趣。科学。
The Department of Biology provides undergraduate and graduate programs covering the breadth of biology. Course work ranges from introductory biology to specialized courses in broad disciplines of biology. The department has grouped courses into concentrations to help advise students of appropriate programs of study in various biology disciplines. Each concentration provides a breadth of background in basic biological concepts as well as depth in the specific discipline. Students should consult with an advisor early in their program of study to design an individualized program within the concentration of interest. A student interested in pursuing an advanced degree in any of these programs must meet the general requirements as outlined as well as any additional requirements specified by the major field of study. <br>This concentration is designed for students preparing for future graduate work as well as for those wishing to increase their competency in the fields of cell and molecular biology. It emphasizes the study of cells, cell organelles, macromolecules, and the regulation of their production and interaction. As such, it represents an expanding frontier of research that integrates biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, developmental biology, and cell ultrastructure. Each faculty member serves as advisor and major professor for students working on research programs in the faculty member's area of specialization.
