Master of Science - Biology - Biomedical Sciences Non-Thesis

The Master of Science (MS) in Biology program is a thesis-based degree centered on original student research. The biological sciences are progressing rapidly; and by interacting with researchers in the classroom, field and laboratory, graduate students will better understand the principal values of science and the ethical requirements of scientific pursuits.

The non-thesis MS track in biomedical sciences is designed for people interested in becoming laboratory technicians that work in biomedical and biotechnology fields. Students in the program will take specialized coursework in this area and will conduct research with a research advisor. While research experience will be gained there are no requirements to finish a specific project or write the results in a thesis.

The Department of Biology is home to one of UNF's Flagship Programs, the Coastal Biology program.
