The Master of Science in Biology provides comprehensive advanced training in the Biological Sciences. Students gain exposure to key research domains through diverse coursework and specialized seminars, with opportunities to explore related scientific disciplines. The program emphasizes both research and teaching competencies. Temple University's College of Science and Technology delivers this degree, equipping graduates for careers in scientific investigation or education. Through this rigorous curriculum, students collaborate closely with faculty experts in fields such as aquatic/terrestrial ecology, biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics. The program offers multiple specialization options, including: cellular and molecular neuroscience; computational biology with an emphasis on evolutionary genomics; ecology; evolutionary medicine (studying human disease through an evolutionary lens); genetic epidemiology (analyzing genetic and environmental disease factors); molecular/cellular/developmental biology; and population genetics (tracking genetic changes across populations.
Genomic Epidemiology represents an interdisciplinary approach investigating how genetic and environmental elements collectively influence contemporary human health issues. This research area evaluates the proportional effects of hereditary factors, environmental conditions, and their interactions on disease patterns within families and populations.
