BA/MS PROGRAM IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES/ ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SCIENCES
This is an accelerated program leading to a BA in biology and an MS in environmental and occupational health sciences in five years. Hunter College Biology majors admitted to the program start graduate work in their senior year. Interested students should contact a Biology Department adviser - as well as the coordinator of the Program in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences at the Brookdale Campus - early in their undergraduate studies. See the Health Professions section of the graduate catalog.
BA/MA PROGRAM WITH SPECIALIZATION IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
In this five-year program, qualified undergraduate Hunter College biology majors begin graduate work as seniors and receive the MA one year after completing BA requirements. Students are provided with theoretical knowledge and skills in molecular biology, and a foundation for application of these skills in careers in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical industry, academic research, or public health. Successful completion of the biotechnology workshop, an essential program component, entitles students to a summer internship in an industrial or private research laboratory.
BS/MA MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES/BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WITH SPECIALIZATION IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
Qualified Hunter College seniors majoring in medical lab sciences in the School of Health Sciences may apply to the new BS/MA collaboration between medical lab sciences and the Department of Biology. An intensive techniques workshop (BIOL 410) is taken prior to graduation and upon successful completion, students may continue with professional internship, and accelerated MA program.
