• The MCD department also accepts applications from students interested in obtaining a Master's degree.
  • This is typically a two year program carried out under the guidance of a faculty advisor. 
  • Acceptance into the M.S. program requires a faculty sponsor from MCD Biology before submitting an application, and students are expected to include a letter from their faculty sponsor detailing such support in their application.
  • This letter does not need to promise financial support, but it should indicate that the faculty member approves of the applicant to join their lab as a Master's student.
