Biology

MSU's master's program in Biology prepares students to become self-sufficient, independent thinkers who work heavily in scientific research. The program is the optimal environment for learning; the faculty pride themselves on providing a 2:5 student-to-professor ratio, which results in the faculty being approachable and accessed more easily and allows them to give one-on-one attention to students who are conducting thesis research. Due to the small size of the program, graduate and teaching assistantships are not as competitive as they may be at schools with larger enrollment numbers. Often, graduates of the program put their skills to use in a variety of fields.
