MASTER of ARTS in
BIOLOGICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Master of Arts program in Biological and Environmental Sciences provides an opportunity for advanced study through intensive classroom presentations, seminars, and laboratory and field experiences.

The program enables students to: (1) pursue industrial, public service, or technical careers in the biological and environmental sciences; (2) upgrade their knowledge in support of secondary school teaching; (3) prepare for further studies, leading to the Ph.D. in Biology.

The program was begun in Fall 1996, and replaced the Master of Arts in Oceanography and Limnology. The current program is designed primarily for part-time graduate students; nearly all courses are offered during evenings, weekends, or summers.
