About the course

The Master of Science in Biology at Wake Forest University is a research thesis-based, stipend supported two-year program. Our research M.S. allows students to pursue advanced academic coursework while also building a comprehensive research thesis under the mentorship of the graduate faculty. Biology M.S. students receive full tuition remission and competitive stipend support for the full course of their studies (four semesters and one summer).

　　M.S. students spend their first year developing their research project while engaging in our Integrative Biology course and other coursework, in preparation for the presentation of the First-Year Prospectus plan for their research. Each student assembles an Advisory Committee of three faculty to guide their research throughout their studies. Research work continues through the summer in ongoing preparation for the thesis. In their second year, M.S. students complete their coursework (24 hours of coursework, and 6 hours research credits). In their last semester, students complete a written research thesis and present both a departmental seminar and a final presentation for their advisory committee.
