MSc in Biological Sciences in Fairbanks United States | University of Alaska Fairbanks

Graduate students in UAF's biological sciences program enjoy exceptional chances to pursue self-directed biological studies, whether through controlled experiments or fieldwork in Arctic, alpine, and boreal ecosystems near campus or in distant locations. The department maintains strong ties with the National Science Foundation's taiga Long Term Ecological Research site, situated approximately 20 miles from campus. Additionally, students can utilize the tundra LTER facility at Toolik Lake, home to a field station operated by UAF's Institute of Arctic Biology. On-campus resources in Fairbanks include small animal colonies, the Large Animal Research Station, advanced microscopy labs (both electron and light), an imaging lab, and greenhouse facilities. Collaborative work between students and faculty at the UA Museum of the North involves systematic collections examined through diverse methodologies ranging from classical morphology to modern molecular biology techniques.
