国际学生入学条件
The applicant’s GPA in undergraduate biology courses will be determined and must be 3.0 or above (on a 4.0 scale)
An applicant must normally present 24 semester hours of credit in the biological sciences, including genetics (sophomore level or above), ecology (junior level or above) and molecular/cell biology (junior level or above). Preparation in the supporting sciences must include a course in inorganic or introductory chemistry, a course in organic chemistry or biochemistry, a course in introductory physics and a course in mathematics (college algebra, trigonometry or calculus) or statistics. Students with inadequate backgrounds in biology or the supporting sciences may be admitted provisionally and will be required to complete courses in the named areas.
Applicants are required to have a command of oral and written English. Those who do not hold a baccalaureate or other advanced degree from the U.S., OR a baccalaureate or other advanced degree from a pre-determined country on the waiver list, must meet the minimum language proficiency score requirement in order to be considered for admission.
Applicants should have a minimum TOEFL of 95 iBT, 7.5 IELTS or 76 PTE.
Entrance Exam
Graduate Record Exam (GRE) General Test with a combined score (verbal + quantitative) of 297 and a minimum writing score of 3.5.
Three (3) Letters of Recommendation
Current resume or curriculum vitae (CV)
Shall include an outline of your educational background, employment history, research experience, and a list of references.
Statement of Purpose
The Department of Biology strongly encourages applicants to contact a professor whose research interests overlap with their own goals for graduate research. Because of the individualized nature of the Biology Graduate Program, otherwise qualified applicants may not be admitted if appropriate faculty are not available to serve as advisors. Please indicate in your Statement of Purpose who you have contacted or plan to contact.
Applicants not meeting the criteria in terms of GPA or standardized test scores may provide written evidence of experience or potential to perform outstanding graduate work and petition the department for provisional admission as long as their biology GPA is above the 2.7 minimum set by the Graduate College. Students seeking provisional admission should contact two or more biology faculty to discuss admission. Provisional admission will not be removed until the student has earned at least the grade of “B†(3.0 on a 4.0 scale) in each course involved in the first 12 hours of graduate study. Questions about requirements for admission should be directed to the Department of Biology.

课程简介
生物学是直接应用于人类的最基本的科学领域之一。我们在地球上的持续存在将取决于我们如何解决生物问题。生物学的规模范围从单个细胞内部的生化过程到复杂的多细胞生物再到生物种群再到生态系统再到整个星球。生物学理学硕士使我们的毕业生可以从事医疗保健,生物技术,自然保护,政府机构,教育以及其他广泛领域的职业。
The goal of the Department of Biology is to provide students with individualized, broad training in biology leading to a Master of Science (MS) degree. Original research is an integral part of both the thesis and non-thesis degree options. Faculty areas of expertise include ecology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, taxonomy, behavior, and developmental biology of a wide variety of organisms. The MS degree prepares students for employment in industry, private or government agencies, and academics, as well as further education in professional programs, such as the PhD or MD. UNO's biology programs provide opportunities to join multi-disciplinary teams in research and in the classroom. That is how our students access careers in medicine, sustainability, environmental assessment, biomedical research and over 100 other exciting areas.
