Miami gets approval for new grad programs

By Dave Larsen | Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 04:07 PM

Miami University in Oxford has received approval from the Ohio Board of Regents to add two new graduate programs.

The new degree programs announced Wednesday, Sept. 30, are a doctoral-level program in ecology, evolutionary and environmental biology (EEEB), and a master’s- and a doctoral-level program in cellular, molecular and structural biology (CMSB).

Both programs will begin accepting students in the fall of 2010, according to university officials.

“These new graduate programs draw on the strength of multiple departments to create an innovative interdisciplinary approach,” said Bruce Cochrane, dean of Miami’s Graduate School, in a media release.

The EEEB program will involve five participating departments: botany, geography, geology, microbiology and zoology.

The CMSB program will involve faculty members from four departments: botany, chemistry and biochemistry, microbiology, and zoology.

Graduate students will have the ability to use resources from the various departments in their academic and dissertation work.

Currently, Miami’s graduate program offers students master’s degrees in more than 50 academic subjects, and 12 areas of studies in doctoral degrees, according to university officials.

For more information on the new graduate programs, call (513) 529-3734.
