Master of Science in Molecular Biology

The MS in Molecular Biology provides advanced knowledge in cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive biological function and disease. The curriculum integrates theory with hands-on lab research in areas such as gene expression, protein function, immunology, and molecular genetics. Designed for students pursuing careers in biotechnology, biomedicine, or doctoral study, the program fosters technical expertise, critical thinking, and independent investigation. Coursework includes Molecular Biology and electives such as Virology, Advance Neuroscience, and Bioinformatics. You can tailor the degree toward career goals through thesis or non-thesis options. With small class sizes and access to Montclair’s research facilities, you’ll collaborate closely with faculty and gain practical experience using cutting-edge molecular tools. The degree also prepares you for advancement in clinical research, pharmaceutical development, or further graduate study in biomedical sciences or education. The program is STEM-designated.
