Магистр биологии

The overall educational objective of the biological sciences masters program is to provide graduate students with the knowledge and training necessary to pursue advanced graduate education, professional studies, or employment in a scientifically related field.

Southeastern offers thesis and non-thesis graduate programs in Biology. While students in both programs are taught by highly qualified and involved faculty, students in the thesis program have access to stipends and tuition waivers while preparing for doctoral studies or work in a research-related field.
