生物学理学硕士

生物学硕士课程的目的是通过执行和完成原始研究为学生提供生物学方面的进阶学习机会。该计划旨在为学生做好以下准备：1）攻读博士学位。生物和生物医学科学专业课程； 2）在政府机构和私营部门的专业职业； 3）教育，医学和环境领域的技术工作；以及4）两年制大学水平的教学。此外，该计划还为学生提供了机会，以增强他们的科学知识和科学过程，以进行中学教学以及从事其他领域的专业工作。该计划可以在两年内完成，但是大多数学生会花费较长的时间，因为要完成基于研究的严格论文，特别是如果学生在校内或校外工作，或将大量时间用于其他活动
The graduate program offers opportunities for advanced study and research leading to the Master of Science degree in Biology. A thesis option is offered to students who want an opportunity to develop expertise in research techniques and data analysis, a nonthesis option is offered for those who want the opportunity to earn the Master of Science degree through organized coursework. The thesis option is recommended for students who plan a career in research or contemplate pursuing a doctorate in one of the life sciences. The nonthesis option might be suitable for students interested in secondary school teaching in the life sciences. Graduate faculty research interests include biochemistry, cellular biology, development biology, ecology, genetics, microbiology, neurobiology, physiology, and plant sciences. Degree candidates are required to complete a minimum of 36 semester credit hours approved by the student's Graduate Advisor of Record.
