生物，地质和环境科学系（BGES）提供课程工作和研究计划，从而获得生物学理学硕士学位，环境科学理学硕士学位和调节生物学哲学博士学位。哲学博士可能包括可选的细胞和分子医学专业。这些课程面向全日制和非全日制学生开放。克利夫兰诊所（CC）的勒纳研究所（LRI）的系教职员与工作人员合作，提供广泛的生物科学方面的研究生培训。例如，克利夫兰州立大学和LRI的分子和细胞生物学家在正常发育和疾病状态（包括癌症，心血管疾病和癌症）的背景下研究细胞分裂，程序性细胞死亡和细胞分化中信号传导和基因转录的调控。自身免疫和神经系统疾
The Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences (BGES) offers programs of course work and research leading to the Master of Science degree in Biology, the Master of Science degree in Environmental Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy in Regulatory Biology. The Doctor of Philosophy may include an optional Cellular and Molecular Medicine Specialization. These programs are open to full-time and part-time students. Department faculty and staff members of The Lerner Research Institute (LRI) of the Cleveland Clinic (CC) work in cooperation to offer graduate training in a broad range of biological sciences. For example, molecular and cell biologists at both Cleveland State and the LRI study regulation of signal transduction and gene transcription in cell division, programmed cell death, and cell differentiation in the context of normal development and disease states that include cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune and neurological disorders. Other Cleveland State faculty members participate in several programs focusing on local ecological and environmental issues that provide opportunities for graduate research. These include the Cuyahoga River Watershed Project and the OhioView consortium on remote sensing. Completion of a minimum of 90 credit hours with a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 distributed.
