The Master of Science in Biology program provides a strong foundation in biological sciences and prepares students for further graduate training or research and teaching careers. The program offers three customizable tracks: coursework-only, scholarly paper, and research thesis. All tracks culminate in a master's degree and can be completed in one to two years, with financial aid available. Students are assigned faculty advisors to guide them throughout the program.<br><br>Degree requirements: All three tracks require students to complete eight courses (32 credits) of 500-level and above coursework with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Students are assigned faculty advisors in their first semester.<br><br>The Department of Biology offers three tracks that lead to the MS: a coursework track, a scholarly paper track, and a research thesis track. The coursework track can be completed in one year and the scholarly paper track can be completed in a year and a summer. The research thesis track typically requires two years to complete. In all three tracks, students are assigned faculty advisors in their subfield of interest during the first semester in the program.<br><br>Learning outcomes: The MS in Biology equips graduates with a deep understanding of a chosen subfield within biology cellular & molecular biology, neurobiology, or ecology & evolution. They gain expertise in research methods and critical analysis of scientific literature. This skillset prepares them for success in PhD programs or professional careers where research and critical thinking are essential.
