Biology

Whether you’re drawn to research, academia, teaching or business, this master’s degree has a track to get you there. Far from a one-size-fits-all model, our program prepares students for the careers they want while at the same time training them in basic research and teaching. Choose from numerous degree options, including a neuroscience track, a Ph.D.-focused preparation or a minor in business administration. To further serve our students, evening and weekend classes are available.

Curriculum

As a foundation, all students study biology and biostatistics. From there, the journey is up to you: Plan A includes a thesis and prepares you for doctoral studies or a research career; B is a more coursework-oriented program; and C includes a minor in business administration, for students interested in the biological and pharmaceutical industries. We also offer a neuroscience track, requiring either a research or library thesis.
