The Department of Biology offers a joint master's program with the Department of Information Sciences in which students receive both a master's degree in Cellular and Microbial Biology and a master's degree in Library and Information Science.
The Master of Science in Biology emphasizes cell and microbial biology. The program's purpose is to prepare students for teaching, research, and administrative careers in biological or biomedical sciences. Courses in this program provide a foundation in biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, neurobiology, and virology. In addition, presentations and participation in a graduate seminar program prepare students to be effective teachers and communicators.
The goal of the master's program is to expand and deepen the student's initial education in Biblical Studies. It prepares students to engage in independent research in various domains pertinent to the study of Scripture, such as Old Testament, New Testament, Septuagint Studies, ancient languages and more. The degree promotes a thorough and rigorous foundation for further graduate studies in the area of Biblical Studies and Ancient Languages.
