The MCD department also accepts applications from students interested in obtaining a Master's degree. This is typically a two-year program carried out under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Acceptance into the M.S. program requires a faculty sponsor from MCD Biology before submitting an application, and students are expected to include a letter from their faculty sponsor detailing such support in their application. This letter does not need to promise financial support, but it should indicate that the faculty member approves of the applicant to join their lab as a Master's student.<br><br>This letter of acceptance into a lab is required to be considered for admission to the M.S. program, however it does not necessarily guarantee admission.
