Graduate Work. The department offers graduate work leading to the Master
of Arts, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Candidates for
higher degrees are expected to meet undergraduate major requirements, as determined
by their undergraduate records and by examination, before advancement
to candidacy for the degree.
Facilities are available for graduate study in botany (plant morphology, cytology,
anatomy, taxonomy, and physiology), ecology (plant and animal), genetics,
marine biology, microbiology, physiology (comparative, general, and mammalian),
and zoology (cytology, embryology, invertebrate, and vertebrate).
Institute of Marine Biology. The University operates for the Oregon State
System of Higher Education an Institute of Marine Biology at Charleston on Coos
Bay on the Oregon Coast. The Institute is located in a setting providing access to
an unusual variety of richly populated marine and terrestrial habitats. Under the
guidance of an interinstitutional advisory committee, the Institute serves all units
of the State System. A program of undergraduate and graduate studies is offered
during the summer session.
Institute of Molecular Biology. A program of research and research instruction
in areas of biology where phenomena can be understood in terms of the structure
of molecules is conducted through the University of Oregon Institute of
Molecular Biology. See INSTITUTE OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (pages 115-116).
