生物学系硕士课程的目标是在现代生物学的三个广泛子领域之一中对学生进行高级培训：细胞和分子生物学，神经生物学，生态学，行为，进化和海洋生物学。通往MS的三个路径是：课程工作路径，学术论文路径和研究论文路径。在课程的第一学期，将为学生分配其感兴趣的子领域的教职顾问。细胞与分子（CM）生物学计划的研究生有机会从从事基础和生物医学相关研究的各种研究实验室中进行选择。除了论文/论文研究，课程工作和每周的研究生研讨会系列之外，学生还可以通过生物分子研讨会系列向来访的演讲者学习，还可以参加由化学，生物信息学和本系其他研
The Department of Biology & Biochemistry offers graduate programs in Biochemistry and in Biology (M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in both). The graduate program in Biology has three degree tracks: a Certificate in Biomedical Sciences track, a Cell and Molecular Biology degree track, and an Ecology and Evolution degree track. The Certificate in Biomedical Sciences is only offered in conjunction with a non-thesis M.S. in Biology.<br><br>The other graduate programs and degree tracks mirror the organization of the department into three divisions: Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Ecology and Evolution. Each division has similar, although not identical, requirements for its M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Each division has a Policy Leader, who is a faculty member whose responsibilities include overseeing the progress of students before they have chosen a thesis or dissertation advisor.
