About the course

The School of Biology and Ecology offers graduate study leading to the following M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Independent research under the direction of a faculty advisor is a major component of all of these programs (excepting certain of the Masters degrees which have a non-thesis or literature-research option). Key to the School?s research efforts are several facilities providing equipment, space and professional personnel. Among equipment available for graduate-student use, for example, are automated DNA-sequencing equipment, laser confocal and electron microscopes, digital imaging equipment, gas liquid chromatographs, scintillation counters and controlled-environment chambers. Aquatic laboratories for raising fishes and invertebrates, greenhouses, The University of Maine herbarium, an on-campus arboretum, and numerous sites for field research on both managed and natural habitats in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems are easily accessible.
