• The focus of USF’s Master of Science in Biology program is hands-on lab research with full-time faculty and the completion of a major lab research project. Students who have successfully completed the program are prepared to pursue further postgraduate work or to enter into a technical position in a related research or industrial laboratory.
  • The biology program is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in biology or its equivalent. If a graduate student is admitted and is lacking a proper foundation for biology graduate work, then some advanced undergraduate coursework will be required in the first year of studies.
