MS Biology, MS Chemistry, MS Biochemistry
GPNS Programs
The College of Science and Mathematics offers Master of Science degrees in three disciplines within the Natural Sciences: Biology MS, Chemistry MS, and Biochemistry MS. Students completing any of these degrees will develop advanced skills in the gneral discipline of choice and will apply these skills in the completion of a thesis research project or internship.
Biology (MS)
The graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Biology prepares students to apply basic scientific principles to the practical biological problems encountered in business, industry, government, and education. Graduates from the program will be able to apply the techniques of scientific research to real-world biological problems. Course work may include several important areas relevant to biology, including biotechnology, bio-fuels, statistics, environmental, molecular, and cellular biology.
3 + 2
A unique feature of the Biology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry MS programs is the 3+2 plan which allows students to simultaneously receive a BS and an MS degree in five years.
Chemistry (MS)
The graduate program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry prepares students to apply fundamental chemistry principles to more advanced questions encountered in industry, government, business, and education. Graduates from this program will be able to apply techniques of scientific research in the chemical sciences to real-world problems. Course work may include several important areas in the chemical and natural sciences, including advanced instrumental techniques, and environmental concerns.
BIOCHEMISTRY (MS)
The graduate degree program outlined leads to the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry. The degree program prepares graduates for professional employment or for further advanced studies in molecular biosciences, including biochemistry and biotechnology. Course work for this degree option includes several important classes at the intersection of the biological and chemical sciences, including advanced topics in cellular biology, biochemistry, and laboratory techniques.
