Biology — The Program

The Graduate Program in Biology is designed to accommodate students of various backgrounds who wish rigorous training leading to the Master of Science degree in Biology, or to the PhD in Biology/Environmental Biology Track or Molecular, Cellular, and Organismal Biology Track. In most cases, students are supported by either teaching or research assistantships.

Students may choose to concentrate in one or more of these areas: biodiversity, cell biology, conservation biology, developmental biology, endocrinology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, neurobiology, physiology, plant sciences, population biology, reproductive biology, and science education. With the help of a faculty advisor, a cohesive course of study is designed from among the wide variety of faculty research and study interests.
