MS program in Physiological Sciences

Subject: MS program in Physiological Sciences

  We are currently in the process of recruitment for applications to the Physiological Sciences MS (graduate) program.  Ours is a 2-year MS program that includes a research thesis and most of our MS students receive TA support. It makes a great option for students who would like to get more experience in research and academics before they move onto the next thing.  We have had applications/students from students in all of your programs, so I was wondering if you would be able to provide information about the program (see below) on either your student listserv or blog for potentially interested students to see.  Thank you for your help.

Best,

Erika
