Biology Graduate Programs
Students in undergraduate and graduate programs learn biological concepts taught by dedicated faculty and gain hands-on research experiences in the laboratory and field using first-class equipment, centers, and facilities. Our graduates pursue a wide variety of career paths in health, biotechnology, the environment, and plant science.
Our Programs
The Department offers a wide range of graduate degrees. Thesis and dissertation based Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees are offered in Biology and Botany. Botany also offers the Master of Arts (MA) degree.
Students in the Department may also pursue the MS or PhD in the interdepartmental Cell, Molecular, and Structural Biology (CMSB) program or the PhD in the interdepartmental Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (EEEB) program.
Working professionals such as teachers and nonprofit staff seeking an off-campus program that can be completed part-time while working may apply to the Advanced Inquiry Program or the Global Field Program for either an MA or MAT degree.
Combined Bachelors-Masters programs in Botany (MA and MS), Biology (MS), and CMSB (MS) are available for qualified undergraduate students.
Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology, M.S. and Ph.D.
Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology is a multi-disciplinary program that seeks to identify and understand the molecules that collectively form the basis of all life.
Biology
Both the Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees are offered by the graduate programs in Biology.
Project Dragonfly
Join Miami University's Project Dragonfly and ignite ecological and social change. Our innovative master's programs and professional development opportunities blend flexible online learning with applied conservation in your community and incredible field study worldwide.
Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology, Ph.D.
The focus of a student's program will be his/her dissertation research. Course requirements will be flexible to meet the particular needs and goals of each student. Thus, a student interested in global climate change and its effect on biogeochemical cycling will be permitted to take a set of courses that is largely different from another student interested in the evolutionary genetics of an endangered
Botany - M.A., M.S., Ph.D.
The graduate programs in Botany offer both Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees, providing advanced education and research opportunities in plant biology, botany, and related life sciences fields.
Qualified students can also pursue a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Botany for technical and research-support careers, as well as an accelerated combined Bachelor's–Master's (M.S. or M.A.) Botany program designed to streamline graduate study.
