The focus of thereport is determined jointly by the student and thestudent’s academic advisory committee. The natureof the report can be a library search, survey, orexperimentation as determined by the student'sadvisory committee.

A core of required courses (9credit hours).2. An area of specialization (15 – 18credit hours).3. A master's thesis (6 credit hours) or a terminalresearch report component and credit hour ofelective courses.4. A comprehensive examination (non-thesisoption) or thesis and oral defense without thecomprehensive examination.Core Course RequirementsThe Biology graduate program aims to providestudents with the concepts and skills needed to enterPhD programs or professional programs and functioneffectively as biologists. All students enrolled in theBiology program must complete the Biology core.The core requirements consist of 9 credit hours ingeneral Biology.
