MS, Biological 科学s, Concentration in Molecular Biology and Microbiology

项目的重点

Students in this degree 程序 emphasize molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, immunology or microbiology through choice of advisor, committee, course work and thesis.

In addition, students with our degree will have gained experience in critical thinking, problem solving, research methodology (e.g. experimental design, sampling techniques and analysis) and both written and oral communication. Our alumni are successful applicants for doctoral degree 程序s and generally attain high level positions in both academic and non-academic in both the private and public sectors.

Minimum requirements for admission into graduate level 程序s at San Jose State University are described in the 研究生 招生 and Program Evaluation (GAPE) website. Additional application instructions and the process for obtaining an MS degree in the Biological 科学s are described in the Additional Requirements for Completion of the MS Degree Program on the website for the Department of Biological 科学s. 

Generally, the Plan A (thesis-based) 程序 takes longer than the Plan B (non-thesis-based) 程序. The average time for the former is 6-7 semesters, but can be longer if students work at other jobs while pursuing their degree. The maximum time allowed for either degree 程序 is seven years starting with the first course taken. The unit and course requirements can be found in the campus catalog (see below).
