The Master of Science in Biology provides students with comprehensive advanced training in the Biological Sciences. The program delivers extensive coverage of key research domains in Biology through diverse coursework and specialized seminars. Students have the opportunity to explore complementary scientific disciplines. The curriculum emphasizes both research and teaching competencies. With Temple University's College of Science and Technology, students obtain wide-ranging expertise in principal biological research fields via graduate-level seminars and courses. This degree equips graduates for professional paths in scientific investigation or education. During this demanding program, graduate candidates collaborate closely with faculty from the College of Science and Technology to conduct original research. Faculty expertise spans multiple disciplines such as aquatic and terrestrial ecology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics. Students can concentrate their studies in specialized research areas including cellular and molecular neuroscience, computational biology with an emphasis on evolutionary genomics, ecology, evolutionary medicine (an interdisciplinary approach analyzing modern human diseases through an evolutionary lens), genetic epidemiology (investigating genetic and environmental influences on health), molecular and developmental biology, and population genetics (studying genetic changes across populations over time).
Evolutionary medicine represents an interdisciplinary domain that investigates current human health conditions within an evolutionary framework. Studies in this field explore how genetic mutations, natural selection, population dynamics, and historical factors have influenced biological diversity and disease susceptibility.

Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: A baccalaureate degree in a science field is required.
Statement of Goals: In approximately 500 to 1,000 words, describe your interest in Temple's program, academic achievements, and research goals, and provide the names of up to three faculty with whom you would like to conduct your master's research thesis.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: Required, with a combined minimum score of 300 on the quantitative and verbal reasoning sections.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 90
IELTS Academic: 6.5
