The Master of Science (M.S.) in Biology in biology prepares students for entrance into professional schools in the health sciences (medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, and veterinary medicine) and for research doctoral programs. Graduates also acquire the tools and skills for successful careers in biotechnology, public health, and environmental and patent law. For secondary school biology teachers, the graduate program fulfills the requirements of certain tracks for professional certification and expands their knowledge base.
The Biology Department also offers a Master of Science with a concentration in biotechnology, which combines a foundation in science with business training to prepare students for careers in this expanding field.
At Adelphi, students gain a broad foundation in biology, practical experience, and the fundamental skills of scientific research. Laboratory courses emphasize contemporary scientific techniques and integrate technology into the learning experience. Departmental laboratory facilities include modern equipment for the study of molecular biology, cell and tissue culture, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Students use these facilities for graduate research in cellular and molecular biology, genetics, toxicology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, evolution, and ecology.
The Biology Department provides personalized attention from faculty members who work closely with students as mentors and provide career guidance. For over four decades, the biology department has achieved a consistently high success rate for students entering professional programs in many prestigious institutions.
