Adelphi University

The MS in Biology can prepare you for entrance into professional schools in the health sciences (medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry and veterinary medicine) and for research doctoral programs. Secondary school biology teachers can use a graduate program to fulfill the requirements of certain tracks for professional certification and/or expand their knowledge base. Graduates can also acquire the tools and skills for successful careers in public health and environmental and patent law, or the dynamic and growing field of biotechnology and its related fields of pharmaceuticals, biomedical research, cancer research and laboratory medicine.

• Customize your education to your interests and needs, with two track options that allow you to either perform laboratory or field-based research or to explore scientific research through the primary literature, both under the guidance of one of our distinguished faculty.
• Take advantage of financial support options including our rewarding graduate teaching assistantships.
• Apply when the time is right, thanks to an accessible rolling admissions process.
