Develop The Critical And Creative Skills For Life-long Learning In An Ever-evolving, Fast-paced World

For a student in the Master of Science in Biology program, there are a variety of concentrations that you can pursue within either the thesis or non-thesis option.

The thesis option is designed for students who intend to pursue research-oriented careers in science. Many students who choose this option move into Ph.D. programs.
The non-thesis option is designed for students who do not intend to pursue research-oriented careers in science. Most of these students intend to pursue either a medical or teaching career.

Regardless of what track you choose, all graduates of this program will successfully complete at least one course each in cellular/molecular, ecology/evolution and organismal biology before receiving a master's degree.

All Georgia College graduate students (thesis and non-thesis) must successfully complete as an undergraduate or graduate student at least one course each in cellular/molecular, ecology/evolution, and organismal Biology before receiving a Master's Degree. The Department Chairperson and/or Graduate Coordinator will resolve questions concerning courses in these areas.
