The Department of Biology is committed to promoting equity, inclusion, and diversity. We embrace the evidence that a diverse scholarly community stimulates scientific innovation and educational excellence.

This program provides students with the opportunity to design a Master of Science program that meets their unique needs. As such, it is able to accommodate students with a wide range of backgrounds and career goals. It may be particularly suitable for providing additional background in biology for secondary teachers, preparing a broad background for students interested in community college teaching or intent on entering or in other professional careers.

This is a designated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program.
