The central mission of the graduate program in Biological Sciences is to train students in an inclusive environment to think creatively and work collaboratively to address significant scientific challenges. The graduate program educational goals are broadly defined to foster development in 5 areas: Core Concepts, Critical Thinking Skills, Research Skills, Scientific Communication Skills, and Professional Development Skills. While each of the Graduate Programs in the Department of Biological Sciences has distinct goals and outcomes, they all share a core mission driven by a common desire to prepare our students to excel and achieve success in their post-graduate careers. The programs are:
Master’s programs
Biological Sciences - Cell and Organ Systems Concentration (MS)
