Overview

Mission

Our department provides M.S. Biology students with the hands-on experience they need to conduct research, along with guidance and mentorship to attain careers in their desired fields.

Graduate research in our department includes all aspects of biology, with projects that span molecular, organismal, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. Many of our successful graduates are now working for state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations, in academia, or as consultants.

Our department here at Tennessee Tech University actively supports efforts to increase underrepresented groups in the sciences; as such, we are committed to recruiting and mentoring students from diverse backgrounds.
