Standford University offers biology research and study in four areas: molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology and genetics; population and evolutionary biology and ecology; plant biology; and marine biology. The Department of Biology has three degrees: bachelor of science, coterminal master of science/bachelor of science and a Ph.D. The coterminal program is available only to undergraduates at Standford. This includes non-biology majors. Stanford's biology school benefits students who want to attend medical, dental or veterinary schools, conduct extensive field and lab research, and prepare for teaching or consultant work.
The Department of Biology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers the following degrees: bachelor of science, master of science and Ph.D. Biology students can also seek dual degrees in computer science and molecular biology. Graduates of the program go on to medical school and the fields of science publishing and teaching. MIT provides programs in general biology and specialized fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and cell biology.
Boston University offers a bachelor of arts, master of arts and Ph.D. in biology. This Department of Biology is unique in that its undergraduate program has five areas of specialization: behavioral biology; ecology and conservation biology; cell biology, molecular biology and genetics; quantitative biology; and neurobiology. The graduate program has four major research areas: cell and molecular biology; neuroscience; ecology, behavior and evolution; and marine biology. Students in the biotechnology program will obtain a bachelor of arts and master of arts. Graduates have gone on to teach, become marine biologists and molecular biologists.
Tufts University offers a bachelor of science, master of science and Ph.D. biology programs. The graduate program has six areas of major study and research: ecology, behavior and evolution; genetics and molecular biology; developmental biology; neurobiology and animal behavior; cell physiology and conservation and the environment. Graduates become biochemists, immunologists, ecologists and conservation biologists.
