M.Sc. in Biology

The Biology program focuses on an organismal approach to the life sciences, emphasizing integrated ecological and co-evolutionary studies of plants and animals through fieldwork in the Chihuahuan Desert region. It offers broad training in aspects of biology and prepares students for advanced specialty disciplines.

Besides, students can also work toward either life science or composite science teaching certification, or an associate certification as a wildlife biologist as set forth by the Wildlife Society, and a Bachelor of Science in Biology. The Bachelor of Science can be tailored to field biologists, laboratory-focused biology, and various pre-health professions. The Biology program is advised for pre-medical, pre-dental, and other pre-health science disciplines.
