生物学理学硕士课程是一个多学科课程，可让学生在几个传统和非传统的生物学领域进行高级研究。学生可以选择生物科学的一般硕士学位（建立自己的学位），也可以在水科学，细胞和分子生物学，临床微生物学，微生物学，护士麻醉或生理学方面获得正式的生物学硕士学位。该浓度由威斯康星州拉克罗斯市的生物学系和方济各斯克肯医疗保健公司联合提供。学生同时完成生物学理学硕士学位的要求和教育要求，成为注册护士麻醉师（CRNA）。
The Biology Department strives to foster the ability to critically examine information and discover new knowledge through rigorous scientific reasoning in budding life scientists. The graduate programs in the Biology Department are designed for students preparing for a career in biological fields requiring advanced training or for the teaching professional. Hands-on research training is a cornerstone of our programs and courses. The research and coursework you're given will emphasize the integrative nature of biological studies. Thesis and non-thesis options are available for most of our graduate degrees. We strongly encourage our students to complete thesis research. A master's thesis is an in-depth and original research project conducted during your graduate studies. Students generally conduct these projects over the course of several semesters under the guidance of a faculty advisor. All students should consider the ''thesis option'' because prospective employers and continuing programs (i.e. PhD) are more interested in applicants with substantial research experience.
