The Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Sciences. Biologists study all aspects of life — from molecules to ecosystems. Research in this program reflects this breadth with specialties in genomics, evolutionary biology, physiology, integrative biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, cancer biology, immunology, toxicology, and more, across model organisms such as plants, animals, and microbes. Facilities supporting this research include the Clemson Light Imaging Facility, the Palmetto High Performance Computing Cluster, the Clemson University Genomics and Bioinformatics Facility, the Clemson Experimental Forest, and the Eukaryotic Pathogen Innovation Center.
Graduate students in Biological Sciences work closely with their major advisor and graduate committee to craft a plan of study that is geared toward the student’s interests. Both the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biological Sciences allow for maximum flexibility, with coursework that encompasses the breadth and depth of associated life science areas.
