Program(s) Available: Accel
The Accelerated Biology M.S. program allows outstanding students to concurrently pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biology, and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Biology; an area of concentration in Biomedical/Molecular or Environmental/Organismal Biology, and to complete graduation requirements for both degrees within five years at Northwest Missouri State University.
The Biology graduate program is designed to strengthen the student’s content knowledge, problem solving skills and research capability. Students who complete the degree will have an increased specialization in a biological discipline and an enhanced ability to do research. Students will be able to demonstrate their ability to interpret data and communicate such data in both a written and oral manner. Students will be prepared to work in the discipline of biology and will have sufficient background to be successful in future professional or doctoral studies.
Please review the policy section on Accelerated Programs for additional information.
