Hood College M.S. in Environmental Biology

The M.S. in Environmental Biology at Hood College provides excellent preparation for science teachers wishing to pursue a graduate degree part-time while working full-time during the day. The Hood program is unique in Maryland because courses are offered in the evenings with some supplementary field and laboratory activities on Saturdays.

Open to those with bachelor's degrees in a wide range of fields, the program offers both a thesis and a non-thesis option. The 33-credit thesis track includes the preparation and defense of a 6-credit thesis. The 33-credit non-thesis track includes a 3-credit independent research project.

Faculty members in Hood's Environmental Biology program, all of whom are actively involved in their own research, teach our graduate students. Part-time and adjunct faculty members, who provide insight into current practices in the field, include administrators and researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
