Program Overview

The Department of Biology offers students opportunities to study in the field or in modern facilities with up-to-date instrumentation and resources, including a DNA-sequencing unit, an integrated microscopy facility, high-speed digital networks and computing centers, a GIS lab, greenhouses, wet labs, and extensive collections of plant and animal specimens.

Course Work

Students can pursue either a 30 semester credit hour thesis-based master of science (M.S.) degree in biology or a 36 credit hour non-thesis degree. Students who choose the thesis-based program, which requires the completion of a substantial research project spanning multiple semesters, are usually preparing for advanced graduate study, for professional careers with governmental or non-governmental agencies, or for advanced training in technology-related fields. Students preferring to receive broad training across the field of biology without a formal research experience, such as secondary science teachers or those preparing for entrance to professional programs in the health sciences, often choose the 36 hour non-thesis M.S. degree, which requires the completion of both coursework and a one-semester research experience.

Degree Hours Thesis Option Minor Option
M.S. 36–37 Non-Thesis Minor required
M.S. 36–37 Non-thesis No minor
