Master of Science in Biology (STEM)

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Biology program serves those interested in advanced training in applied or basic biological research and teaching. The program also provides a basis for further graduate or professional studies. The M.S. in Biology is broadly based, allowing students to tailor their courses to suit their interests. Laboratory skills are integral to many Biology careers, thus students are encouraged to include lab courses in their program of study. Faculty in the M.S. in Biology program have expertise in a range of sub-disciplines including ecology, organismal, cell, and molecular biology. All newly admitted students matriculate in the Fall semester.

Upon completion of the M.S. in Biology program students will have:

  •     A strong understanding of disciplines across the breadth of Biology and a deep understanding of select Biology sub-disciplines.

  •     Developed strong written and oral presentation skills.
  •     Developed the analytical skills necessary to synthesize information in an area of research based on existing and new data.
  •     Developed strong research design and laboratory/field research skills.
