生物学理学硕士-生理学和形态学

生物学系于2009年扩展为细胞生物学，微生物学和分子生物学系（CMMB）和综合生物学系（IB）。每个系都有自己的主席和研究生主任，并向学生提供生物学理学硕士学位具有与CMMB或IB相关的特定浓度。没有一般的生物学MS专业。CMMB和IB部门位于设备齐全的现代建筑中。CMMB系的研究由跨学科科学大楼和生物科学设施大楼（BSF）的教员完成，而IB系内的大部分研究由位于科学中心大楼（SCA）的教员进行。由于大多数研究项目都是跨学科的，因此，教师和研究生经常在广泛的培训研究项目上共同努力，这些研究项目汇集了许多传
The thesis-based MS program requires a total of 30 credit hours to include 4 required courses core curriculum, minimum of 1 elective course, and a minimum of 1 credit hour of research and thesis. Students may concentrate in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental biology (MCD) and Environmental, Ecology, and Evolutionary biology (E3B) but are not required to do so. Each student must pass an oral qualifying exam, a thesis proposal approval, and submit and defend an MS thesis.<br>The Master's of Science in Biology program provides the opportunity for broad training in a variety of biological areas as well as specialization in areas of particular interest to the student. The Department offers a thesis and a non-thesis track within the degree. The thesis track is designed for students whose career goals require formal research training. The non-thesis track is designed for students whose career goals require graduate education, but not formal research experience, such as teaching at the community college/regional college level. The program provides the opportunity for broad training as well as specialization in areas of particular interest through the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCD) concentration and the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B) concentration. Students in the Ph.D. and M.S. programs have the opportunity to conduct graduate research under the co-direction of a Biology faculty member and select faculty at the Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte.
