The non-thesis M.S. biology degree is a course work focused program. This M.S. degree program in biology is specifically designed for professionals in the Tulsa metroplex who would like a graduate degree in biology but who work full time, such as teachers and medical technicians. It is also ideal for those pursing medical or dental careers and who require course work beyond their undergraduate degree in order to obtain the skills needed to be competitive applicants to these professional schools.
Although the non-thesis M.S. is a course-work focused degree, it is not dependent on completing a set list of classes. Instead, the degree allows each student to specify a field of focus and work with advisors to choose course work within that focus to complete the degree. Options range from molecular and cellular biology to ecology, and include genetics, microbiology and physiology. The non-thesis M.S. in Biology requires 36 hours of course work with no more than 40 percent at the 6000 level.
