Molecular Biology Master's Programs

Molecular biology students study the molecular make up and mechanisms of living organisms, overlapping both the field of genetics and biology. Topics related to molecular biology include gene replication, mutation and cloning. Academic surveys of molecular biology also include the historical, philosophical and scientific developments in the field. Several colleges and universities in the United States offer master's degree programs in cell and molecular biology.
  1. Quinnipiac University

    • The molecular and cell biology Master's program at Quinnipiac University prepares students for employment in pharmaceutical research companies, universities and hospitals. Core curriculum requirements include molecular genetics, advanced biochemistry, and microbial physiology. Students are required to choose relevant elective coursework ranging from animal cell culture, pathophysiology and principles of epidemiology. The course is instructed in conjunction with local pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical programs.
