生物学系的目标是对研究生进行综合研究方面的培训，课程内容使学生接触生物学的主要子学科，而课程则具有足够的灵活性来开展跨学科工作。我们的主要优势包括热带生物学，生态与进化生物学以及发育生物学和神经科学。生物学硕士。我们的MS计划有两条路线需要30-36的研究生学分：有论文的硕士（包括原始论文的建议和口头答辩），或没有论文的硕士。
Our Master of Science in Biology is specialized to fit the needs and professional aspirations of each individual student. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. As a student in our biology master's program, you will have opportunities to specialize in a diversity of areas within the field. The Department's areas of research expertise include behavior, physiology, microbiology, bioinformatics, cell and molecular biology, ecology, evolution, genomics, and conservation. Within these areas, specific research projects are based on the expertise of the graduate faculty.<br><br>Working with a professor from the graduate faculty in Biology, you will chart a program of study based on your research interests and goals. You will have the option of completing either a master's thesis (thesis option) or a culminating experience related to research with a faculty member (non-thesis option).
