The department offers programs leading to the Master of Science in Biological Sciences, Master of Science in Marine Science, and Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences degrees. As of Fall 2019, students may also enroll in a coursework only Master of Arts in Biological Sciences degree program. The graduate program is designed to provide broad training in the Biological Sciences, with specialization in the fields of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) or Ecology, Evolution and Systematics (EES). Research foci within MCB include disease model systems, evolutionary and developmental genetics, microbiology and immunology, genomics, and protein biochemistry. Research foci within EES include population, community, and ecosystem ecology, microbial ecology, evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, marine biology, animal behavior and physiology, and systematics, with a special emphasis on aquatic systems.
