MS Biochemistry at University of Missouri-Columbia

Programme overview

Admission to the Biochemistry program to pursue a M.S. degree is not an option, as students are accepted with the intent that they will fulfill the Ph.D. requirements. Only under unforeseen circumstances, such as illness, a change in academic interest, or other personal reasons, is a student allowed to transfer to the M.S. degree.

Faculty: College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources | Department: Biochemistry | Duration: 30 credit hours | Location: Columbia, MO, United States

What you will study
