M.S. Degree
 
 
The M.S. degree may be earned in microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry. An incoming student arranges a formal graduate program of at least 30 semester hours in consultation with his or her major professor and supervisory committee. The student is also expected to include MMBB 501 (seminar) each semester. One semester of teaching is required and is obtained through participation in the department's teaching programs. A master's candidate prepares a written thesis documenting completion of a laboratory research program. The thesis must be approved by the student's major professor and supervisory committee and be defended during an oral examination. Publication of data from the thesis in the peer-reviewed literature is expected. Non-thesis option offered.
