Explore cutting-edge discoveries at the cellular scale and gain insights into life's fundamental mechanisms. The University of North Texas offers a Master of Science program specializing in biochemistry and molecular biology, structured to deliver core graduate training before progressing to specialized research. Our faculty's diverse research focuses span the wide spectrum of biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB), encompassing areas like biochemical processes, genetic regulation, biological systems, growth and development, cellular functions, metabolic pathways, and environmental interactions across microbial, plant, and animal organisms. Students work closely with their academic advisor and graduate committee to develop a customized degree pathway.
The Department of Biological Sciences delivers exceptional academic training for graduate students in Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or Environmental Science programs at UNT.
Our department builds upon four pillars: innovative research, close faculty-student collaboration, rigorous coursework, and meaningful community engagement. Faculty investigations in biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) mirror the field's expansive scope, covering biochemical analysis, genetic studies, biological networks, developmental processes, cellular mechanisms, energy transformations, and ecological relationships in various life forms.
Students may opt for either a thesis-based Master of Science research track or a non-thesis Professional Science Master's degree, ideal for those seeking biotechnology careers in corporate or public sectors.

Qualification Requirements
Official transcripts are required from every college or university you have attended and must arrive by the application deadline. The transcripts must show you have earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution (or equivalent).
If you have already earned a U.S. bachelor's degree or its equivalent and are pursuing either a second bachelor's degree you must apply for admission to UNT through the Toulouse Graduate School.
Unconditional admission to the Toulouse Graduate School.
Complete application.
A letter of intent to the department, including the specific program and degree sought (MA, MS, or PSM,), faculty members contacted as prospective professor/advisor, professional goals and objectives, the reason(s) for choosing UNT, the Department of Biological Sciences, and the specific area of interest (Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or Environmental Science).
Three letters of recommendation to the department from former professors if the applicant is a recent graduate. One letter may be from an employer if the applicant has been employed for more than one year since graduation.
Undergraduate GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 overall or greater than or equal to 3.2 in the last 60 hours.
Submission of GRE scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections) is currently recommended. The program views GRE scores as indicators of potential success, low GRE scores do not exclude candidates who demonstrate positive indicators in other areas. Applications submitted without GRE scores may be considered incomplete and may not be reviewed for an admission decision.
The appropriate GRE subject test is recommended for diagnostic purposes, not admission. In addition, the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) may also be considered in lieu of GRE scores at the discretion of the department.
Bachelor's degree with 24 hours, 12 of which are advanced, in life science or appropriate related science is required for programs in either Biology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
IELTS - 6.0
TOEFL iBT - 79, Speaking Section (minimum score of 26).
DET - 100
