The Department of Biology at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) is
seeking to recruit students for our Master’s degree program. We provide
support through teaching assistantships (which include tuition waivers), as
well as through faculty research grants. In addition, research and summer
support funds are available on a competitive basis. UNO is located in the
heart of the greater Omaha metropolitan area (over 930,000 people), and UNO
currently enrolls approximately 3,000 graduate students and 15,500
undergraduates. Our departmental program covers all levels of organization
within biology. Faculty with interests in conservation, ecology, behavior,
restoration, and evolution include:
Paul Ayayee: Host-microbe interactions and Microbial ecology (
