Degree Options
Students have a choice of two paths for earning a Master of Science (M.S.) in Biology. They can follow a course of study which requires a research thesis, or take the alternate program with a non-thesis option. The M.S. degree can generally be completed in one and a half to two years of full-time study, but it is also possible to complete the degree through part-time study. Most courses are offered in the evening for the convenience of the working student.
Research Thesis Option
- BIO (0105) 627 - Essential Skills for Graduate Students is required.
- One laboratory course is required.
- Courses may be at the 500, 600, or 700 level. Only four courses may be chosen at the 500 level without specific approval following petition to the Director of the Graduate Program. With approval of the supervisory committee, up to 12 credits may be selected from graduate offerings in other departments.
- A minimum of a B average is necessary for graduation. Students receiving an F in one course or a grade of C+ or below in 2 courses will be considered for dismissal from the program following review by the Graduate Program and College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office.
- The thesis track requires three semesters of research courses: a) BIO 790 , BIO 791 , BIO 792 , or BIO 793 ; b) BIO 798 , and c) BIO 799
