学位 – 生物学理学硕士, MS
浓度: N/A

项目描述

The 生物学理学硕士 degree program is to equip students with advanced scientific knowledge and skills necessary to pursue doctoral programs and professional careers in biological sciences. M.S. program in biology consists of classroom instruction at an advance level, along with mentored scholarly pursuit of new knowledge leading to the preparation of a thesis document or a special project paper. The graduate program intends to prepare creative scientists with a good theoretical background, training in research techniques, and communication skills required to disseminate the research results including the significance of such research work in relation to the human environment.

学习成果

  • Broaden students’ knowledge in a discipline related to his/her research
  • Be able to state clearly the research goals or objectives, 假设, and explain the significance of his/her planned thesis research
  • Organize and interpret the results generated from his/her research in a thesis or non-thesis consistent with the guidelines set by ASU’s Office of 研究生学习
  • Communicate research findings and apply knowledge in biological science in his/her daily life
  • Gain an understanding of professional practices and responsibilities for the community at-large
  • Enhance students’ potential for employment

入学要求:

Students applying for entrance to the 生物学理学硕士 are required to submit an application for admission, 网上申请(erv.moggin.com/academics/graduate-studies).

  • Two letters of recommendation (references should be professors who have taught the student)
  • Official transcript from an accredited school (if a student has attended more than one school, transcripts must be submitted from all schools attended). At least one transcript must document the student has a bachelor’s degree with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Some departments have additional requirements students must meet for admission
  • Immunization Record (submit for the traditional Biology program only)

Decisions are made only after receipt of all credentials by the department’s admission committee. Each department uses an admission formula to accept students. 整个应用程序包, including all supporting materials, must be submitted to the Graduate School. Official test scores must be submitted from Education Testing Service (ETS) and must not be older than five years, official transcripts from the sending school, and Credential Evaluations (International students) from an approved Credential Evaluation Service.

标准测试:

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is the official standardized test required for admission to the 生物学理学硕士. 放弃

学位要求:

The curriculum for the 生物学理学硕士 requires 33 credit hours of coursework and a thesis or non-thesis project for degree completion. An oral defense of the thesis is required for progression to degree completion. Students complete 12 hours of required core credits and 21 hours of general electives.

Graduation expectations require the following:

  • A minimum of 27 credit hours of graduate instruction must be completed in residence at pg电子游戏试玩
  • Earn no more than two Cs in coursework
  • Write an acceptable thesis and defend it orally or complete an acceptable non-thesis project
  • Official transcripts on file for all transfer credits accepted by the University

Academic advisors are allowed to accept up to six semester credit hours earned at an accredited university with a grade of “B” or higher for graduate coursework completed. Substitutions of coursework are allowed with the approval of an advisor and department administrators up to nine hours if the substitution(s) meet curriculum requirements.

学术之路: 顶石项目

The Thesis or Non-Thesis is an exit requirement for the 生物学理学硕士. The department has specific expectations for selection of topics. Students pursue independent research on a question or problem of their choice in the relevant disciplines under the guidance of a graduate faculty to produce a paper that reflects understanding of the topic and in the respective discipline.

硕士学位审核:

Before candidacy for graduation can be confirmed, each student progression to degree completion will be evaluated to determine if student has met all academic requirements for course work and other aspects of the student’s course of study and Graduate School requirements. When these requirements are met, the student is cleared for graduation.

完成学位所需时间

pg电子下载’s time to degree completion policy allows 6 years to complete the 生物学理学硕士. 学位 completion depends on the pace a student completes the curriculum. 如果时间超过六年, the student must petition the Graduate School to consider an appeal for more time to degree completion.
