About the course

Biologists study all aspects of life ? from molecules to ecosystems. Research in the biological sciences graduate program at Clemson University reflects this breadth with specialties in genomics, evolutionary biology, physiology, integrative biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, cancer biology, immunology, toxicology and more across model organisms such as plants, animals and microbes. Facilities supporting this research include the Clemson Light Imaging Facility, the Palmetto High Performance Computing Cluster, the Clemson University Genomics and Bioinformatics Facility, the Clemson Experimental Forest and the Eukaryotic Pathogen Innovation Center.

　　Our graduate programs include in-person, research-based M.S. and Ph.D. programs ? with emphasis across a broad base of disciplines listed above ? and an online non-thesis M.S. for science educators. The goals of our research programs are to build scientific expertise in a specific area, strong interdisciplinary skills in experimental design, critical thinking, and communication skills needed by every scientist. The online, non-thesis M.S. degree program is specifically designed for science educators interested in biological sciences. Students include teachers at all levels and scientists working at museums, field stations and laboratories. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
