MS, 生物科学, Concentration in Physiology

项目的重点

The graduate 程序 in Physiology offers students training in the pursuit of rigorous scientific investigation with an emphasis on the integrative nature of physiology across levels of organization from molecule to organism. During their research experience, students acquire the skills necessary to successfully address a variety of research questions under the guidance of faculty. 

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 生物科学 are described in the Additional Requirements for Completion of the MS Degree Program on the website for the Department of 生物科学. 

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. 单位与课程 requirements can be found in the campus catalog (see below).
