The purpose of this graduate program is to provide students with in-depth knowledge in advanced topics in Biology. Students are trained to be independent thinkers who are able to identify specific research problems in biology and investigate them. The thesis option provides the necessary background to pursue further research in biology and is most applicable for students planning to enroll in a Ph.D. program. Mission The MS Biology Program at NDU is designed to offer graduates a profound understanding of advanced biological topics. Through a combination of coursework, practical lab experiences and thesis research, this program aims to cultivate independent thinkers, empowering them to identify and explore specific research challenges within biology. Furthermore, students are equipped to pursue advanced studies or professional careers in the field. Program Educational Objectives • Prepare for careers in biology by extending knowledge, skills and experience; • Develop independent and critical thinking to solve fundamental problems in biology; • Acquire practical skills in various applied biology techniques; • Enhance communication skills and leadership abilities; and • Recognize ethical responsibilities and the value of biology in a societal context. Program Learning Outcomes • Explain fundamental concepts in the different basic areas of biology
