About Master of Integrative Biology

Master of Science in Integrative Biology

KSU's Master of Science in Integrative Biology (MSIB) degree program will help you understand the links between scientific disciplines, concepts, and organizational scales when working to solve complex life science problems.

M.S. in Integrative Biology = One program in two departments!

Our program integrates through all levels of biological organization, from groups of molecules to communities of organisms - and back! We have two exclusive life sciences departments that work together with the Integrative Biology graduate degree program. Faculty in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology investigate at the organismal level and above. In contrast, faculty in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology tend to explore the cellular level and below.

The MSIB is a research-based program with a curriculum that provides integrative courses and experiences designed to foster connections across the life sciences spectrum. This approach will prepare you to become a scientist who can formulate an appropriate methodology to address complex questions in the biological sciences.

Integrative Biology is a practical approach to solving complex issues and has been identified by the National Academy of Sciences as an emerging paradigm.

Tuition waivers and teaching/research assistantships are available!

The Master of Science in Integrative Biology degree is a two-year, thesis-based program that prepares you for many educational pathways while also giving you the skills needed to succeed in private or government industries. The research experiences available through the program span all aspects of biological complexity (from molecules to ecosystems) allowing you to pursue the pathway that fits you best.
