Students who are interested in a scientific illustration program can learn the principles of a variety of scientific disciplines as well as master artistic skills, such as drawing, photography, painting or computer design to work in this field.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
