Our graduate programs in integrative biology acknowledge that modern biological research demands a methodology incorporating insights from molecular to ecological scales, preparing students with diverse expertise and comprehensive understanding. Through coursework and seminars, students develop skills to synthesize knowledge across biological specialties (from molecular genetics to evolutionary biology) and scales (subcellular to global) to explore fundamental questions about cellular processes, organisms, species interactions, and ecological systems. Master's graduates advance to health professional programs, doctoral studies, or careers as marine/wildlife ecologists, environmental educators for government/NGOs, or laboratory specialists in healthcare and industrial settings.

A baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) in biology or closely related discipline. We expect that incoming students will have completed courses in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, anatomy and physiology, as well as one year of mathematics, one year of physics and two years of chemistry. Any undergraduate deficiencies in the above must be rectified before enrolling in graduate courses where these courses are particularly relevant. Exceptions may be made with permission of the graduate director.
