The Master's of Science in the Natural Sciences program at Northeastern State University provides students with multidisciplinary training in the Natural Sciences beyond that of the baccalaureate degree. Students gain experience in the design, execution, and reporting of scientific research by completing a research project and Master's thesis. The curriculum consists of formal courses in one or more areas of concentration and incorporate the candidate's background, goals, and objectives. The areas of cencentration are Biology, Chemistry and Physics. A central goal of the program is to prepare students for doctoral programs and/or employment in the natural sciences or advancement in their current profession.

 

All students involved in the program are required to conduct research and disseminate the results of their work through appropriate venues. Research training is a crucial part of graduate training in the sciences; thus, this aspect of the program directly relates to the overall objective of training future scientists for their intended career.
