The primary objective of The Ph.D. Program in Biology is to enable the student to acquire a fundamental orientation in the current life sciences as well as mastery of the knowledge and investigative approaches in his or her chosen areas of specialization. Such training is essential in developing research professionals equipped to teach in university programs and to take leadership positions in biotechnology and research.
The Graduate Program in Biology offers diverse and integrative training opportunities for students seeking the Ph.D. degree in the biological sciences. A master's degree may be obtained by students en route to the Ph.D. or by those who leave the doctoral program; students primarily interested in a terminal master's degree are not admitted to the program.
