Program Description
The School of Biological Sciences offers MS and Ph.D. degree programs in Botany and Zoology with a non-thesis MS option in Biology. We provide research specialties in ecology and evolution, physiology, systematics, and molecular biology for plant and animal systems.

A major strength of our program is the facilities available to graduate students for their research. For example students have access to extensive support facilities including an electron microscope center, herbarium, natural history museum, vivarium, greenhouses, and growth chambers. Off campus, our graduate students may utilize several field research sites such as the Hudson Biological Reserve at Smoot Hill and Meyers Point Field Station.

All of our graduate students are fully-funded; most receive teaching assistantships, and some receive research assistantships and fellowships. A major focus for the faculty in our school is graduate research and we welcome you to directly contact individual faculty members or direct your questions to the graduate secretary within the School of Biological Sciences
