Biological Sciences MS at Youngstown State University

The master's program gives you firsthand experience at every stage of research—from data collection all the way through publication and conference presentations. Working with dedicated faculty, you'll develop original research projects to prepare for careers in academia, laboratory research or advanced study.

And if your goal is focused more on corporate careers like those in pharmaceuticals, the program's non-thesis option allows you to concentrate on biological theory and principles.

With either option, your education is enhanced with access to cutting-edge facilities and experienced faculty whose research interests range from molecular genetics and aquatic ecology to neurobiology and pharmacology. They're not just your professors, but your mentors, offering intense interaction and guidance as you develop into an advanced professional.
