About our program

The University of Nevada Biology Department is in the College of Science. The department offers an undergraduate curriculum designed to provide students with up-to-date training in the biological sciences. The curriculum includes a core of courses in the biological and physical sciences and mathematics. Fields of concentration in the department are ecology and evolution and molecular and cellular biology.

The Biology Department participates in several graduate programs, including interdepartmental Ph.D. programs in Cell and Molecular Biology; Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology, the Biotechnology BS/MS Degree Program and two Biology Masters Degree Programs. Plan A is a program culminating in a research thesis for students interested in pursuing further advanced degrees or employment in biological research. Plan B is a program leading to a non-thesis Masters Degree, and is intended as the terminal degree for students seeking careers in industry, education, agencies, or other areas. Students may select from three areas in which to concentrate their study: (1) Cell and Molecular Biology, (2) Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology, or (3) General Biology.
