Overview
Each graduate student in Biology, before receiving the Master of Science degree, must attend a minimum of five departmental seminar programs. Attendance does not carry course credit.
Each student must complete 30 semester hours of course work including a thesis. Each student has an advisory committee of three faculty members, including a principal advisor who directs and approves thesis research and writing. The thesis is defended before the advisory committee, and a seminar presentation is given to the entire faculty.
