    A colleague is interested in doing a Master's in biology and for convenience would prefer to do so through distance. We've done some searching, but it seems biology is a difficult subject to find at the postgraduate level. We've found a British bioinformatics program and University of Maryland's biotechnology program, but no straight up biology.

    Anyone know of one? It's for academic purposes, so RA/GAAP is required.

    Thanks!

    What kind of biology?

    Saint Joseph College has an online biology MS: http://ww2.sjc.edu/curriculum/bioweb/Distancelearning.htm

    U. Maryland (the real one, not UMUC) has a DL Master's in Life Sciences aimed at science teachers: http://www.onlinestudies.umd.edu/mlfsc/

    Liverpool John Moores has MSc in virology: http://cwis.livjm.ac.uk/virology/

    Nebraska has entomology: http://entomology.unl.edu/educatn/distancems.htm

    There are quite a few DL bioinformatics programs (e.g. Manchester, Exeter, KSI).

    Also a large number of programs in conservation, environmental sciences, etc.

    U. London has a variety of biology-related external programs: epidemiology, infectious diseases, structural biology.

    I completed the MLFSC program at the University of Maryland and was very happy with it. I found it equally as challenging as my previous masters which was face-to-face.
