The graduate program in biology at the University of Rochester is designed to foster the development of scientists capable of doing advanced biological research. We offer a PhD and MS in biology. 

Rochester’s biology program is notable for its collaborative approach, world-class faculty who share a common interest in genetic processes, and myriad research opportunities on the River Campus and at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

A master's degree in biology expands your scientific skills and can open doors to new educational and job opportunities. Many students pursue a master's before continuing their education in medical or veterinary school, while others earn their advanced degree as part of their teaching career.
