The program includes four (4) required courses, an internship and electives to make up the 30 semester hours. The thesis is based on a real entrepreneurial project with an existing company or your own startup (the internship). Plan A (Thesis) The Plan A Master of Science degree in biology is a thesis graduate degree program. The purpose of the program is to provide advanced exposure to biology for interested professionals, to provide additional training for those wishing to resume or change careers, or to provide additional preparation in biology for students interested in pursuing professional studies in the health sciences. Students are required to write a Master of Science thesis. Program of Study All candidates must complete a total of 30 credit hours in course work at the 300 level or higher within 5 years of matriculation into the graduate program.
