The Biology Program
General Description
The Department of Biology at William & Mary offers a two-year, research-intensive master’s program where students are supported by teaching assistantships and full tuition waivers. Graduate research opportunities exist in four broad areas: behavioral biology, developmental biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and molecular and cell biology. With a low student to faculty ratio (approximately 8-10 new students each year with 25 full-time faculty), we offer an intimate and highly personalized research and education experience rarely attainable at larger universities. Also, our graduate students often work closely with and mentor undergraduates, providing numerous informal teaching and personal development opportunities. Specific information about our graduate students and faculty can be found here.
Admission
The department requires the General Graduate Record Examination and requests the Biology GRE for nontraditional applicants (e.g. students with a bachelor’s degree in something other than Biology).
