The Biological Sciences Department at UAH has offered the Masters of Science degree for
more than 20 years. Our graduates have successfully pursued careers in
industry, research and education. The affiliation of the graduate program in
Biological Sciences with Alabama A&M University furnishes an extensive
graduate faculty for instruction and research opportunities.
The department provides an
atmosphere and research facilities that are especially suitable for
students pursuing an M.S. degree or the New Ph.D program in Biotechnology.
Our faculty members have national and international recognition and a
strong commitment to research. Our faculty members understand and work
with graduate students in designing their research projects and course
work for M.S. or the Ph,D degrees. Students in the program study under the
guidance of a faculty advisor and an advisory committee. The department
emphasizes research and course work in the following areas: cell biology,
environmental biology, genetics and molecular biology, microbiology and
physiology. More detailed information can be found in individual faculty
pages.
Qualified graduate students may apply
for Teaching Assistantships that provide a monthly stipend and tuition.
Individual faculty also have research projects that fund for Graduate
Research Assistantships. Students applying to our M.S. or PhD programs are
encouraged to contact individual faculty for availability of Research
