M.S. in Integrative Biology = One program, two departments.

We have two exclusively life sciences departments that jointly administer the Integrative Biology graduate degree program. Faculty in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (EEOB) tend to investigate at the organismal level and above; faculty in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB)  tend to investigate the cellular level and below. Nonetheless, many of our research projects span these somewhat artificial boundaries. The MSIB program at Kennesaw State integrates through all levels of biological organization, from groups of molecules to communities of organisms - and back!
