ASU vs Liberty - For MS in BIOLOGY

[wildebeest]

Have you looked at others that are in your state and also online?  ASU has several biology programs, is there a specific one you're looking at?

Yes, looking for campus/in person admission in the Texas state but that will take another season to start (spring or summer). Meanwhile, thinking to start online (without wasting time) and may transfer when get accepted in campus.

By the way , this is for my friend in Texas. There are very competitive university in biology in campus/online. Last summer, everywhere her applications were rejected. May be anyone can suggest low ranking university/college in Texas for campus/in person.

You might have a hard time finding a graduate school to start before the spring semester, which is only three months away, and applications and transcripts take time.

UTPB has an in-person MS in biology: https://www.utpb.edu/academics/programs/...ms-biology

As does Lamar: https://www.lamar.edu/arts-sciences/biol...ology.html

For an additional online option, though it couldn't be started before spring, the school where I'm currently doing grad school (EIU) has an online MS in biological sciences. The sessions are full semesters, which is a drawback for some, but it is fairly reasonably priced at $410 per credit all-in (this includes course fees, technology fees, and book rentals). Probably not the cheapest option, but it's about $1,500 less than ASU per semester (assuming three classes), and more if you have to buy books at ASU, which I don't know. That said, while EIU is a good, respectable university, I'm sure ASU is much more well known. I also cannot speak for the biology department at EIU, as that isn't my field. But, I know the school because I go there, I personally really like it, and I have found both administrators and professors great to work with.
