The Special Master\u2019s Program for employees in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics enables laboratory employees to pursue a Master\u2019s 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\u2019s participation in the program. The Special Master\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
