The MS in Biology program is a 30-credit-hour degree program.

The program includes thesis and non-thesis options. The courses in the thesis and non-thesis tracks are identical except for Thesis Guidance (6 credits), which is required in the thesis option but not in the non-thesis option. Students in the non-thesis option must satisfy this 6-credit requirement by completing Research Problems in Biology (3 credits) and additional electives. Students in both programs must pass a written comprehensive examination. Students in the thesis option must also complete a research project and write an acceptable thesis. The non-thesis option is considered a terminal degree and is not normally applicable toward the Ph.D. degree.
