Graduate Programs in Biology and Biosciences
The graduate level programs provide advanced training for students and professionals seeking careers in the biotechnology industry or biodefense, as well as more traditional careers in biomedical research, teaching, evolutionary biology, and animal biology. Master’s concentrations are available in molecular biology, microbiology and infectious disease, bioinformatics and computational biology, and systematics and evolutionary biology. Alternatively, students may choose the program in biological sciences, which allows flexibility to specialize in additional areas. Doctoral concentrations focus on functional genomics and biotechnology, or microbiology and infectious diseases. The Accelerated Master's program is for students currently enrolled in the Bachelor's program in biology at Mason, who have completed a minimum of 75 credits with a 3.0 GPA and are interested in pursing a Master's degree.
