The Accelerated Master’s Program is only available for current University of Arizona students who are working towards a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. No other major, including Biology, or BA tracks qualify for the program.
“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”
Andrew Wojtanowski // MS 2016
The department is particularly strong in the study of:
- genetics, molecular evolution and genomics
- population biology
- species interactions
- theoretical biology
- large-scale ecology
- life history evolution
