Biological Sciences (M.S.)

Wayne State University

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Biological Sciences is a research-centered degree program that includes an intensive curriculum of core and elected courses. During the first year, students are trained through formal coursework relevant to their chosen areas of interest. Two laboratory rotations during the first semester culminate in the selection of a host lab and completion of a thesis project.Research undertaken for an M.S. in Biology is less extensive than that necessary for a Ph.D., enabling completion of an M.S. in two years. An M.S. in biology is a qualification for many positions in industry, research or education. The M.S. in Biology is also excellent preparation for advanced graduate programs.
