生物学理学硕士

攻读博士学位之前，硕士学位可以提供研究经验和专业培训。程序，或者它本身就是目的。在生物技术，制药，资源管理和环境咨询方面，需要受过高级培训，一本或两本出版物，以及丰富的实验室或现场研究经验的学生。生物学研究生计划的目标是：在两年计划中建立一个致力于进行高质量，可发表研究的学生高效率的学术社区，使毕业生接受所选子学科的专门培训以及沟通技巧以有效发挥作用在基础广泛的科学社区中培养具有广泛研究和教学能力的学生，这将大大提高他们的科学或专业职业机会。促进教师与研究生之间的密切学术互动
The Department of Biology offers two ways of achieving the Master of Science degree. The first is a non-thesis option suitable for those who may already have extensive research experience, for educators who seek to upgrade their academic skills but do not require research experience, or for those who need to broaden their biological background. The second is a traditional apprenticeship in research leading to a written thesis. All students admitted to the graduate program are considered to be in the non-thesis program unless they have been accepted into an individual faculty lab. Starting with a common core, both the non-thesis or thesis option may be developed into a final degree program in either of two broad areas in biology: 1) Cell and Molecular Biology or 2) Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics.
