Starting your path in advanced biology

The Master of Science in biology program provides an advanced understanding of the knowledge of biological theory, lab techniques and experimental design and is structured so that it can be completed in a one-year process.

This nonthesis master’s degree is appropriate for people in careers that value individuals having advanced technical and conceptual training in biology including clinical doctorate programs (e.g., medicine, dentistry and physical therapy), positions in management and policy, and educational appointment at the primary, secondary or community college levels. The coursework provides a foundation in graduate-level knowledge of biological theory, lab techniques and experimental design and includes the unique opportunity to take a human anatomy course with a cadaver lab component at the master’s level.

The one-year design to this program is especially appealing to students, whether they are using this degree opportunity as a steppingstone to future educational opportunities or working toward an advancement in their current field. With our small class sizes, the student’s access to their professors and their knowledge is an especially appealing quality. The biology faculty and curriculum emphasize the core values of honesty and integrity intertwined with the principles of Christianity on which CSU was founded.
