  • Biology is a field of science that is dynamic and ever-changing. Whether related to the environment or to issues of human health and disease, new challenges are numerous and will require a knowledgeable and engaged graduate student
  • The Biology Department offers two options:
    • The plan I require the completion, in good academic standing, of at least 24 semester hours of appropriate graduate work and 6 semester hours of thesis research, with the presentation of an acceptable thesis embodying the results of original research work
    • Plan II requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of appropriate course work.
