Are research and teaching assistantships available in the M.S. Biology Program?

Students in the M.S. Program in Biology may receive research or teaching assistantships from the Department of Molecular and Microbiology, or from the Department of Environmental Science and Policy, or from other departments.

In general, most student support is awarded on an academic-year basis (i.e. awards made in the spring for the following academic year) and most students receive support from the department of their faculty research advisor.

Students who do not receive either Graduate Research Assistantships or Graduate Teaching Assistantships may be eligible for part-time teaching positions.
