Master [Biology] From Kansas State University

 The goal of the program is to produce biologists with in-depth understanding of a sub-area of biology and extensive laboratory research experience. The curriculum will include both course work and research experience. Completion of the program will provide students with an advantage both in pursuing work in the private sector and in pursuing a further advanced degree.

Biology and microbiology are broad and innovative disciplines, and our graduate program reflects both of these characteristics. Our faculty members are research scientists with a breadth and depth of research expertise, and they apply that expertise in their roles as graduate mentors. The graduate faculty members of the Division of Biology strongly believe that independent research is the preeminent feature of our graduate programs.

Research expertise represented within the Division of Biology ranges from studies of cell development and cell signaling, to the influence of grazers and fire with plant and animal communities on the tallgrass prairie. Graduate opportunities are available in all areas of biology, including molecular, cellular and developmental biology; community, ecosystem and landscape ecology; wildlife biology; cancer biology; microbiology; virology; immunology; parasitology; and genetics.
