生物学教师理学硕士

硕士和博士学位。生物学课程适合每个学生的需求和兴趣。研究生可以被录取与特定的教职资助者一起工作，或者可以选择轮流在适当的实验室中确定教职资助者。抵达后，即将毕业的研究生将在四个主要学科领域进行诊断检查。根据结果​​，教职员工将与每个学生一起规划第一年的课程工作。在第一年，研究生与教职员工和其他学生互动，以进一步确定他们感兴趣的领域。通常，学生会选择一个学习委员会，确定一名主要顾问，并在第一年末开始从事论文主题的工作。在学生任职的后期，必须完成学习委员会编写的书面全面考试。最后，必须向论文答辩委员会提交书面
The M.S. and Ph.D. programs in biology are geared to the needs and interests of each individual student. Graduate students may be admitted to work with a specific faculty sponsor, or may choose to rotate through appropriate laboratories to identify a faculty sponsor. Upon arrival, incoming graduate students take a diagnostic examination in four major subject areas. Based on the results, faculty work with each student to map out the first year's course work. During that first year, graduate students interact with faculty and other students to further define their areas of interest. Typically, the student has chosen a studies committee, identified a major advisor, and started work on a thesis topic by the end of his/her first year. Later in the student's tenure, a written comprehensive examination compiled by the studies committee must be completed. Finally, a written thesis must be submitted and defended before the Thesis Defense Committee. A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and certification as a teacher of biology or an associated field. At least three years of secondary school teaching. Satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination, general (aptitude) section. Thirty hours of course work to include a selection of courses in the Departments of Botany and Biology which will broaden and balance the undergraduate work in biology. At least two 200-level courses in each department. Courses in four of the five following areas: anatomy, morphology and systematics, genetics, developmental biology, and environmental biology. Up to 12 hours of 100-level courses may be used for the above requirements where approved by the advisor and the Dean. Appropriate courses in related science departments may be used to complete the required 30 hours. No thesis is required, however, each degree recipient must complete a written and oral examination.
