The Department of Integrative Biology offers a Master of Science (MS) in Biology and a doctoral program (PHD) in Integrative and Systems Biology. Our program faculty represent various campus departments and community affiliates. The MS in Biology program offers students the opportunity to receive advanced training and research experience in an area of specialization of one of our nationally and internationally recognized faculty members. The master's program is designed to prepare graduate students for careers in research and teaching, for employment in business, industry and government, for existing career advancement, and for continuing post-baccalaureate work in PhD and professional programs. Students in the program specialize in fields ranging from cell and molecular biology to ecology and evolution.<br>The master's program is a research-based program. Applicants to the program must have a declared area of specialization that aligns with the research focus of a biology graduate faculty member. Faculty expertise can be found undergraduate faculty profiles on the Department of Integrative Biology website (clas.ucdenver.edu/biology/). Students must contact prospective faculty advisors to determine if openings are available within the faculty member's research group.<br>These program requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their Biology advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
