Master of
Science, and Master of Arts in Teaching
The
M.S. in zoology is a research degree at Miami
University. Emphasis is on completion of a thesis based
on original research; however, you are expected to also gain
a broad knowledge of zoology by completing at least 9 hours
of formal graduate-level course work and at least four graduate
seminars. The complete description of requirements can
be found here.
A
thesis adviser and graduate advisory committee will guide
you through your graduate program. You will present
a thesis proposal to the committee for their approval at least
six months prior to completion of the thesis. After
conducting the necessary research and writing, you will present
and later defend the thesis before the committee. You
are also encouraged to present your data at scientific meetings
and / or to submit your findings for publication in professional
journals. A high percentage of our students do so.
