About the course

Graduate study in biology integrates classroom and field or laboratory experience to help meet the current and future scientific needs of society. The Biology department offers students opportunities to study in the field or in modern facilities with up-to-date instrumentation and resources, including a DNA-sequencing unit, an integrated microscopy facility, high-speed digital networks and computing centers, a GIS lab, greenhouses, wet labs and extensive plant, animal and paleobotanical collections. The Department of Biology offers several degree options for students wishing to pursue graduate study at the master?s level, including Aquatic Resources, Biology, Population and Conservation Biology, and Wildlife Ecology. Thesis-based degrees are usually chosen as preparation for professional careers or advanced graduate work (Ph.D., D.V.M., or M.D.) and by students seeking advanced training for technology-related industries. Non-thesis degrees may be chosen by students preferring broad training in biology without a formal research experience, this plan is often chosen by secondary science teachers wishing to broaden their content training without taking additional education courses.
