Overview

The Biology MSc program offered at Emporia State University is an on-campus, "hands-on" program with heavy emphasis on real laboratory-based and field-based learning experiences. Lecture rooms, teaching laboratories, a greenhouse, and research facilities of the department are located in Breukelman Hall.

Facilities

Constant-temperature chambers for plant and animal studies, a darkroom, centrifuges of various kinds, and electrophoretic, spectrographic, chromatographic, electrophysiological, and immunochemical instruments, as well as field-operated physioecological monitoring equipment, are extensively used by graduate students. There is also equipment for modern molecular and cellular biology research, animal facilities, a herbarium, and research microscopes.
A natural history museum, with specimens mounted by internationally recognized taxidermist Richard H. Schmidt, contains hundreds of species of birds, mammals, fish mounts, and hand-painted molds of Kansas snakes. The museum also has more than a thousand other vertebrate study specimens.
