国际学生入学条件
The Department of Biology offers two master's degree programs, Plan A (research thesis program) and Plan B (non-thesis program). The academic requirements for admission are the same for both programs. To compete successfully for admission, applicants should have:
Minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00
combined verbal and quantitative GRE score of 1100 or greater, with a minimum of 400 in each test, an advanced test is recommended
course work in physical sciences (3 credits), mathematics (6 credits), biology (18 credits), and chemistry (6 credits), or equivalent
for international students, a minimum TOEFL score of 600 (paper exam) or 250 (computer exam)
Before admission into the Plan A (thesis) master's degree program, a full-time faculty member of the Department of Biology, must be identified and agree to serve as Faculty Advisor. Potential advisors can be identified by reviewing faculty research interests or the Peterson Guide. If a mutually satisfactory match of student and faculty interests and field of study cannot be obtained, admission into the research thesis program (Plan A) cannot be granted. Alternatively, the student may apply to the Plan B (non-thesis) master's program, or undertake advanced studies as a Graduate Special student. Students accepted into the Plan B master's program will be advised by the Special Programs Committee during the first semester of study until an Advisory Committee is established.
TOEFL: 550 (paper) or 79 (internet)
IELTS: 6.5 (academic version)

课程简介
The Department of Biology offers two Master's Degree Programs. Plan A (thesis option) is a program culminating in a research thesis for students interested in pursuing further advanced degrees or employment in biological research. Plan B (non-thesis option) is a program leading to a non-thesis Master's Degree and is intended as the terminal degree for students seeking careers with government agencies, or in industry, education, or other areas. Students in the Plan B program may select from one of the following three areas from which to concentrate their study: (1) Cell and Molecular Biology, (2) Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, or (3) General Biology.<br><br>The student is required to complete an independent research project and a written thesis suitable for publication in a peer reviewed scientific journal. At the end of the student's research program and following acceptance of the written thesis by the Faculty Advisor and Advisory Committee, the student will make a public presentation of the thesis research. Following the public presentation, the student's Advisory Committee will administer and judge a final oral examination that serves as defense of the candidate's thesis, and an examination of the student's general knowledge.
