The Special Master鈥檚 Program for employees in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics enables laboratory employees to pursue a Master鈥檚 degree on a part-time basis while working full-time in the Department. The faculty member in whose laboratory the employee works will normally be their research advisor, and must agree to the employee鈥檚 participation in the program. The Special Master鈥檚 program is designed to help research technicians increase their level of participation in and contribution to the scientific activities of their current laboratories. The M.S. degree also provides an important credential for employees who wish to become competitive for higher-level technical positions or to move into new career directions. Our program was established in January 2024.
