*Biological Sciences M.S. 学生可以在论文指导老师的批准下，要求用研究学分代替课程作业. 正式的书面申请必须提交给研究生计划委员会(GPC)。, including a justification for the request. 如获GPC批准，学生须提交一份课程替代表(可于 Office of the Registrar's webpage), 需要生物科学学院学术主任和中科院院长的批准, to the Registrar in preparation for graduation.
4 + 1 Track – M.S. Biological Sciences
如果你是正规澳门赌场网络本科在读学生，正规澳门赌场网络生物科学4+1 B.S./M.S. 轨道允许你完成你的本科和硕士学位在总共五年. As a qualified UNE undergraduate, this track enables you to obtain the M.S. degree, with the same requirements as the "two-year" M.S. 在生物科学计划(如上所述)通过一个快速的过程，开始在你的大四本科工作.
You'll complete much of your master's coursework during your fourth year, while also working on your thesis project. 你的第五年将完成你的研究和写你的论文.
要参加4+1课程，你必须是正规澳门赌场网络的本科生，成绩为3.5 overall G.P.A., and a 3.5 G.P.A. in all math and science courses. 入学前不需要参加研究生入学考试(GRE). However, 你必须得到生物科学学院的一名教员的赞助，他将作为你的论文导师. 你可以在大二的下学期或大三的下学期宣布你的报名意向.
申请表格可向生物科学学院未来的指导老师索取.
M.S. in Biological Sciences Research
As a student in either the 4+1 track or the two-year M.S. program, you engage in research with a faculty mentor.
If you are in the 4+1 track, you identify your mentor during your B.S studies. 你应该在第四年开始对一个项目进行研究，这个项目将成为你的论文项目，但可以更早开始.
For the two-year M.S. program, 在你申请的时候，你需要确定你想要与之合作的教员, 我们强烈鼓励学生在早期直接与教师联系，讨论潜在的研究机会.
Descriptions of the research opportunities with faculty supervising M.S. students are listed below. 你可以点击教师的名字来查找更多的信息和如何联系他们的细节.
