微生物学硕士
度的选择
Thesis-based女士
The thesis-based MS requires two years of full-time study and includes a culminating thesis that describes a novel body of research completed under the supervision of a graduate faculty mentor. The research may result in one or more publications. Students who earn a thesis-based MS will be competitive for technician positions in academia or industry, or they may use their degree as a stepping stone to a doctoral program. 另外, students can apply their in-depth knowledge of microbiology and the process of science to career paths such as teaching, 公共卫生, 医学检验科学, 科学传播, 或者科学政策. Students may also find a thesis-based MS is beneficial for in-depth knowledge of microbiology and the process of science that they can apply to other career paths such as teaching, 公共卫生, 医学检验科学, 科学传播, 或者科学政策.
加速硕士结合学士学位
Current NDSU undergraduate students may apply for admission to the accelerated 微生物学 MS option, allowing them to take graduate coursework while completing their BS degree. Please see the accelerated MS Pathway to Success for information on how to apply for this degree option.
综合研究型MS
The comprehensive study-based MS emphasizes didactic coursework in microbiology and includes a creative project that culminates in a comprehensive paper. The creation of new knowledge is limited compared to a thesis-based MS. The comprehensive study-based MS can be completed in 12 months or at a pace that is tailored to the student’s needs. Students earning a comprehensive study-based MS will be competitive for technician positions in academia or industry. 另外, they can apply their in-depth knowledge of microbiology to career paths such as teaching, 公共卫生, 医学检验科学, 科学传播, 或者科学政策.
