Overview

At Bucknell University's master of science in Biology, graduate-level courses are offered in cell and molecular biology, organismal biology, and ecology and evolution.

Key facts:

The program requires two years of full-time work including coursework in biology and research. Eight courses (two per semester) are required for the master of science degree.

At least five of the eight courses must be in biology, and all must be at the 600 level. BIOL 660 (Graduate Research) and BIOL 680 (Thesis) cannot account for more than three of the eight required courses. Applicants whose undergraduate program is too narrow or limited may be required to take additional courses. In such cases, the student must achieve the equivalent of a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree in biology from Bucknell.

Candidates for the master of science degree are required to pass a course in statistics or biostatistics unless they have already passed such a course as an undergraduate.
