Greater Baltimore is a center of biotechnology and biomedical research. In addition, the region’s rapid growth and development have stimulated environmental concerns and placed strains on the education system. As a consequence, graduates with master’s-level training are sought by research facilities and private laboratories, environmental consulting firms, zoos, aquaria, and public and private secondary schools. The Master of Science degree in Biology is intended to provide students with advanced training in sub-disciplines of biology. Students may earn a degree through a thesis or non-thesis option.
Thesis option
The thesis option provides the necessary background and experience for those who plan further study for their Ph.D., for those whose employment requires research training, and for those who wish to teach in community colleges. This option includes a combination of course work and the completion of a major research project. The results of this project will be prepared for publication in the form of a thesis. Students will select their course work and research efforts in one of two areas: Molecular, Cellular and Microbiology, or Organismal Biology and Ecology. Graduate teaching and research assistantships are awarded on a competitive basis to full-time thesis students.
