Our students work with faculty that are curious about life and passionate about advancing scientific knowledge through research. Graduates of our program are well-prepared for successful careers in healthcare, scientific research, education, and natural resource management. Many of our graduate students go on to excel in science-based PhD programs.
Our Biology faculty supervise thesis research projects in the fields of Anatomy and Physiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, and Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (see Scholarworks for recent Biology M.S. thesis topics). Students can take advantage of a tissue culture facility, CT scanner, flow cytometer, specialized (fluorescence, confocal and scanning electron) microscopes, the UNI Biological Preserves System, as well as strong partnerships with the Tallgrass Prairie Center and UNI Botanical Center.
