生物科学学院提供两个截然不同的课程，以获取生物学硕士学位。生物学硕士（非论文）课程面向需要在现代生物学某些方面进行高级培训但不打算从事研究职业的学生。生物学硕士（含论文）旨在为希望拥有现代生物学背景和独立研究经验的学生准备技术人员级的工作或进一步的培训，以获得生物学博士学位。
The graduate programs in biology at USU are highly selective, taking a small number of exceptional students each year. Students work with professors on specific research projects where they receive first-hand, active experience doing lab and fieldwork. Each student’s graduate program is tailored to their individual interests; the student’s graduate committee creates a unique plan of study based on the student’s specific research areas. The faculty in the Department of Biology are experts in a wide variety of topics in biology, such as animal behavior, biogeochemistry, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, insect biology and systematics, neurobiology, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, plant pathology, plant systematics, signaling, toxicology, vertebrate zoology, virology, and more.
