专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Department of Biology has extensive resources to support superior teaching and research in all the major areas of contemporary biological sciences to prepare students for medical school, other graduate or professional studies, teaching, or careers in industry or government.

In addition, other greenhouses provide students with a convenient location for field research, and the indoor environments make experimentation possible no matter what the weather conditions. The building itself is energy efficient with sunshades, and the green roof holds water to help prevent street flooding. With Lake Michigan just steps away, students have another natural resource at their fingertips.

The MS degree is conferred after demonstrating proficiencies as assessed as follows:

Students are expected to gain proficiency in experimental design and analysis. Students must successfully complete (grade of B or higher) the required Biostatistics course (BIOL 470) as an assessment of learned skills in experimental design and analysis.

Students are expected to gain proficiency in scientific writing and reading scientific literature, assessed by successfully completing (grade of B or higher) the required Scientific Logic course (BIOL 500).

Students’ academic progress in the program will be evaluated each semester by a thesis committee consisting of at least three Biology Graduate Faculty members, two of which are Department of Biology faculty. Students are expected to meet with their committee and provide a written progress report including all preliminary data and analyses for evaluation.

Students are expected to gain communication skills in both teaching and presenting research by successfully completing the required teaching unit (didactic + practical teaching) and Graduate seminar.

Students’ ability to critically think, analyze data and write scientifically will be assessed by the successful completion of a formal thesis, approved by their full thesis committee.

Finally, students’ ability to interact as an independent researcher is assessed by the presentation of the thesis research in a seminar format to the entire Biology Department, and successful defense of the thesis in an oral exam judged by the student’s thesis committee.
