Master of Science Program for Biology

The Master of Science program offers three courses of study: general biology, computers in biologic research, and recombinant DNA technology. In addition, biomedical journalism is offered jointly with the Department of Journalism, and a combined M.S.-M.B.A. program is offered jointly with the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business. The options are described in the Graduate Student Handbook, available on request from the Department of Biology. Courses numbered in the 1000-level and 2000-level ranges are open to students in the M.S. program.

Degree Requirements: Students are awarded a Master of Science degree on (1) completion of 36 points with an average of B or better and (2) satisfactory completion of a research paper. Of the 36 points required, 24 must be from the Department of Biology at New York University. All entering M.S. students are required to take Bio Core 1 (G23.1001) and Bio Core 2 (G23.1002). Students working within one of the special M.S. programs may be required to take additional courses.
