MA/MS in Biology, General

Valdosta State's Master of Science in Biology extends the study of living organisms. Students learn foundational biological principles along with current advances in the field, and they build skill in understanding and critically evaluating biological questions. Topics include the theory of cells, the theory of genes, evolution, homeostasis, and how energy and thermodynamics operate in living systems. Classes meet on campus in a conventional format, and 30 credit hours are needed to complete the degree. Graduates are ready to continue into various graduate programs or to take up careers connected to biology. It fits people who want deeper scientific preparation, whether they plan to enter the workforce directly or go on toward a doctorate. The university's page for the degree outlines the curriculum and offers ways to request details, speak with the department, and submit an application.
