MS in Biology

University of Nebraska at Omaha

The goal of the Department of Biology is to provide students with individualized, broad training in biology leading to a Master of Science (MS) degree. Original research is an integral part of both the thesis and non-thesis degree options. Faculty areas of expertise include ecology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, taxonomy, behavior, and developmental biology of a wide variety of organisms. The MS degree prepares students for employment in industry, private or government agencies, and academics, as well as further education in professional programs, such as the PhD or MD.
We are a diverse, unified department with teaching and research spanning the breadth of biology from ecosystems to molecular structure, from evolution to cell biology, from systems biology to bioinformatics. Exciting advances are occurring in all areas of biology the field has never been more interdisciplinary opportunities abound. We invite you to join us to share in these exciting times.
