Saint Louis University's Master of Arts in Biology equips graduates for advanced studies or professional roles across academic, corporate, and governmental fields.
This SLU program focuses on course-based learning without a thesis requirement.

Alongside the M.A. in Biology, SLU provides an M.S. in Biology with hands-on lab research training, covering experimental methods, data analysis, and scientific communication. For those pursuing further education after the M.A., the university's Biology Department also offers a Ph.D. program.
Biology students at Saint Louis University benefit from top-tier campus facilities and resources at the Reis Biological Station. Partnerships with nearby organizations like Washington University in St. Louis, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Missouri Botanical Garden, Saint Louis Zoo, and Danforth Plant Science Center create additional opportunities for research and academic growth.
