Department of Biology
The Department of Biology provides graduate students with an introduction to graduate-level biology across diverse fields of biology. Students will receive expert guidance in research, training in becoming effective communicators in science and a foundation in teaching pedagogy.
Our graduate program is designed to provide students with a broad introduction to graduate level topics in diverse areas of biology. Our courses are intended to broaden and deepen your thinking in biological concepts, research, and quantitative hypothesis testing. Additionally, students participate in independent study with individual faculty. Since most course requirements are usually completed in the first year, students will have time to engage fully in individual research projects by the second year.
