专业概况

Faculty research interests in biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) reflect the broad nature of this discipline, including biochemistry, molecular genetics, systems biology, developmental biology, cell biology, metabolism, and organism interactions with the environment in microbial, plant and animal systems. A specially tailored degree plan is determined in consultation with the student’s major advisor and graduate committee members. Research laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art growth facilities and instrumentation for in depth study of functional genomics, gene discovery, metabolomics, protein/nucleic acid structure and function, and molecular and cellular imaging.

Option 1

Master of Science with a major in biochemistry and molecular biology is a research program of 30 hours of graduate credit at the 5000 and 6000 course level beyond the bachelor’s degree, including 6 hours of thesis.

Option 2

Master of Science with a major in biochemistry and molecular biology is a non-thesis professional science master’s (PSM) degree that prepares students interested in biotechnology for careers in industry and government. The PSM degree option requires 36 hours of graduate credit at the 5000 and 6000 course level beyond the bachelor’s degree, including a 4 to 6 hour internship.

The MS with a major in biochemistry and molecular biology is designed to provide a graduate-level foundation followed by advanced study and research. Students are required to successfully complete a minimum of three BMB foundation courses across the disciplines of biochemistry, molecular genetics and cell biology (equivalent to 9 hours), and an additional three courses (equivalent to 9 hours) selected from foundation, advanced and supporting electives, in consultation with the student’s advisory committee. Supporting electives courses may be in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics or physics. Contact the department for further details on qualifying foundation, advanced and supporting elective courses. Students must enroll in BIOL 5860 at least once per year for the duration of their degree.

Professional science master’s degree requirements and procedures

Candidates are required to complete a curriculum composed of 14 hours in core biology/biochemistry/molecular biology related courses and 6 hours of elective science courses in the same disciplines, and an additional 12 hours of non-science professional development courses selected from a list of courses in business, public administration, communication, philosophy, economics and writing. The course of study is selected with the guidance of a graduate advisory committee. A 4 to 6 hour internship is also required. Satisfactory completion of a written comprehensive exit examination is required of all candidates.
