德克薩斯農(nóng)工大學康莫斯分校

The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences offers graduate research training and coursework for public school teachers who wish to improve their knowledge and skills, for students preparing to enter doctoral programs, for students who seek additional training and coursework prior to applying to professional schools, and for those who plan to seek employment with private industry or with a wide variety of state or federal agencies. The department offers graduate courses in plant/animal/human biology, environmental science, and wildlife biology. An interview may be necessary if the department deems it necessary.

The Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences has launched a fully on-line Master of Science degree in biological sciences. The program is designed for biology teachers who are interested in expanding their knowledge in biology and in acquiring the necessary degree for dual credit and college level teaching.

Upon being accepted for admission into the Graduate School, each student will either select or be assigned an advisor from the graduate faculty within the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences. This faculty member will chair the student's advisory committee, which will include at least two additional graduate faculty members, one of whom may be from another department. Courses may be applied to a particular master's degree program only with the approval of the student's advisory committee. Courses taken before a committee is chosen may not be approved by the committee for the student's particular degree program and, therefore, may not apply to the degree. Course selections will be based upon unique student needs as revealed by academic records and career goals. Course selections will include graduate course offerings in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences as well as supporting courses if deemed desirable or necessary from other departments. With committee recommendation, and approval of the Graduate Dean, a maximum of two upper level undergraduate courses may be applied to certain degree programs. The Biological Sciences MS degree is available on campus or fully on-line.
