Biology - Saint Joseph's University

Biology from Saint Joseph's University is a Campus Master Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Program Overview The Biology Department at Saint Joseph's University offers programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees in Biology. The M.S. program is full time and designed to be completed within two years. The M.A. program accommodates both full and part time students. The goal of both programs is the advanced training of students in a broad range of subjects within the life sciences. Students in both the M.S. and M.A. programs are required to take both lecture and seminar style courses. The M.S. program focuses on not only increasing students? factual understanding of a wide range of life science topics, but also on developing and refining their skills as experimental scientists. Therefore, all M.S. students are required to conduct original research under the guidance of a Biology faculty member. This research project typically spans two years. M.S. students then prepare a written thesis and give a public presentation of their findings as a department seminar. The M.A. program is more focused on traditional course work. M.A. students are often seeking to improve their academic credentials in order to pursue admission to a professional school program, for promotion within the secondary education system, or within corporate settings. While the M.A. program is designed around traditional classroom experiences, students are also encouraged to participate in original research with Biology faculty members.
