Department of Biological Science
The PhD in Biology is a research intensive degree which prepares you for a professional career as a researcher, teacher, policy-maker, or other leadership roles in either academia or the private sector. Students typically spend 1-2 years on course work, along with several years of research on the leading edge of biology. The direction and supervision of graduate work at the doctoral level resides primarily with the major professor and supervisory committee, within the 3 areas of the department: Cell and Molecular Biology, Ecology and Evolution, and Neuroscience.
