Information About Graduate Studies in Biological Sciences

The Department of Biological Sciences offers courses of study leading to both MS and PhD degrees.

Department resources focus on two areas-biochemistry and molecular biology, and ecology and environmental biology-with diverse research areas in both areas. An MS degree in Biological Sciences with an option in Clinical Laboratory Management is also offered to medical technologists.

Since close working ties are maintained among the faculty, graduate students, and scientists of various departments and research institutes on campus; creative, interdisciplinary approaches to research projects are possible and encouraged. All programs are flexible, providing a variety of individualized research and educational experiences to prepare you for a career in industry, government, or academia.

The University has a large array of computer facilities, including extensive capabilities for statistical analysis and graphics. All graduate students in biological sciences have easy access to microcomputers for word processing, calculations, data management, statistical analyses, and graphics.
