Graduate Programs & Information

Information for Biology graduate students and teaching assistants includes:

Graduate Studies in Biology:  Student Guide
Graduate Studies in Biology is a departmental publication designed to supplement the MTSU Graduate Catalog.  Although it repeats some information found in the Catalog, it contains many details of importance that are not found elsewhere.  Graduate students and teaching assistants should be familiar with the contents of this booklet and abide by the advice and guidelines given. Further information may be obtained form the MTSU College of Graduate Studies.

Graduate Advising
All degree-seeking students enrolled in the Department
of Biology are expected to meet with the Graduate Advisor/Coordinator for purposes of arranging class schedules.  Normally, a conference should be arranged one or more weeks in advance of the semester or summer term in which the student expects to enroll.  Individuals who live a considerable distance from campus, and for whom this requirement is more than an inconvenience, should make special arrangements by mail or phone.  Courses taken without appropriate approval may not count toward a degree.  For more advising information, please see Graduate Studies in Biology.
