生物学硕士是一项研究密集型计划，将为您准备生命科学的各种职业或继续深造。该动手课程侧重于体验式学习，将使您沉浸于科学研究的各个方面，从而为您提供科学方法方面的经验，包括可检验假设的制定，实验设计，数据收集和分析以及以书面形式传播结果和口头报告。在该计划中，您将进行自己的独立研究，并可以使用多个研究实验室中的最新设备。得益于我们的小班授课和大学氛围，您将受益于我们经验丰富且充满活力的教职员工的个人关注和一对一的指导。我们的部门提供的课程将生物学的传统教育与当今专业工作市场所需的培训相结合。通过带领大学生完成
The Biology department is committed to graduate training of the highest quality. Its programs are sufficiently flexible to permit training in diverse research areas and to allow for the pursuit of interdisciplinary research programs.<br><br>Our graduate programsleading to either the M.S. or Ph.D. degreeare offered in a wide variety of sub-disciplines within the following primary research areas: cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, developmental biology, ecology and plant biology, evolution, animal behavior, genetics, genomics, epigenetics, and neuroscience.<br><br>The Biology department graduate program currently averages about 50 students. About 75 percent of the students enroll directly following their undergraduate work, others come with a master's degree earned elsewhere. Virtually all departmental graduate students are supported by full tuition scholarships, as well as teaching assistantships, research assistantships, or fellowships.
