Graduate
programs in biology can vary from one university to another. At Governors
State University, our excellent program prepares students as professional
biologists with a strong environmental emphasis. Our Master of Science in Environmental
Biology degree is primarily focused on the application of
quantitative methods and the design of field and laboratory studies.
As a graduate student, you will be taught
by our stellar faculty that brings a wealth of world-class research
and experience to your GSU education. Students
are presented with coursework that covers the spectrum of environmental biology
with classes in toxicology, physiology, and ethology. In addition students receive instructed in
population and community ecology and the applied aspects of all of these
disciplines.
All of our biology programs have the
distinct advantage of the GSU campus location that resides between urban and
rural areas, which create diverse complex learning environments. Furthermore GSU students are now learning
in
one of the most modern and advanced university science environments in the
region. The recent renovation and
redesign of our large 60,000 square foot science facilities was a three-year
project started in October of 2011. The
new facilities allow us to better train students with the rigorous academics
and extensive hands-on experiences they need to compete regionally as well as
on a national and global scale.
Our graduates find excellent career
opportunities in research, government services or as naturalists at county,
state and national parks. Others employment options include jobs in the private
sector as waste management or environmental consultants, at planning agencies
or as teachers. Please see our website
for the complete program requirements and details or contact a department
advisor if you have further questions.
In every college we have outstanding programs
and world-class professors; all focused on delivering academic excellence in a
small-class setting. Academic excellence and innovation are natural
partners. At Governors State University you’ll find an abundance of both. We look forward to
helping you achieve your educational and career goals.
