The Master of Science in Biology program offers a broad range of research opportunities ranging from the sub-cellular to entire ecosystems. Our program offers broad-based training in a variety of disciplines including ecology, evolution, physiology, genetics, behavior, and conservation.
The Master of Science in Biology program offers a thesis option only (the non-thesis MS option is not currently accepting applications). The thesis option requires a minimum of 30 credit hours, 15 of which must be at the 6000 level. Given the thesis requirement, students who wish to pursue this degree must receive a commitment from a faculty advisor for admission into the program. The thesis option curriculum contains a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework excluding thesis hours (note: Independent Study and Directed Research may account for a maximum of 6 of the 24 coursework credits).
Total Credit Hours Required: 30 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree
