Study Level

PHD

Michigan Tech offers both Master of Science and PhD degrees in Biological Sciences, as well as an option in medical laboratory management for those pursuing the MS degree. Research focuses in this department include: biochemistry and molecular biology, bioinformatics, and exercise science; ecology and environmental biology, evolutionary studies, invasive species, and fish biology; human health, medical microbiology, immunology, diabetes, regulation of arterial blood pressure. Our research facilities include the equipment needed to support graduate students in performing cutting edge research. From GC- and ICP- mass spectrometers to various chromatography systems (HLPC, IC, GC, etc...) used for chemical analyses, resources are also available for water testing, DNA sequencing, nanotech research and the physiological monitoring of human and environmental processes. Medical technologists may pursue a master’s degree in biological sciences with an option in medical laboratory management. The medical lab management option within the MS program balances science and business. MLS (ASCP) certificate is required.

More programs from the university

As an undergraduate student at Michigan Tech, it’s simple: if you want to do research, you can. Real research—the kind that creates solutions for industry, gets patented (sometimes with your name on it!), or addresses the problems of our modern world. Last year, our undergraduates spent 126,000 hours working on paid research.We’re ranked among the top twenty universities in the US in the proportion of research that’s sponsored by industry. And nearly 25 percent of our invention disclosures include the names of students as inventors. Students also get published in scientific journals, present at national conferences, and interact with scientists and entrepreneurs from around the world.

Graduate programs at Michigan Tech have rigorous academic requirements set by the Graduate School. The links on this page detail these requirements, procedures to complete a graduate degree, and forms required to track your progress. Graduate programs may have additional requirements for students.
