The Biological Sciences Graduate Program (BISI) is an interdepartmental umbrella graduate program that offers outstanding opportunities for research and discovery within and across contemporary disciplines. Faculty mentors help students investigate exciting questions, in directions driven by each student’s interests and curiosity. Enthusiastic and interactive colleagues, agile minds, and cutting-edge technologies work together to advance and apply science. The goal of BISI is to enable students to obtain the best training in their intended research areas, to work closely with outstanding faculty, and to prepare for successful futures contributing to innovative advances and effective teaching in the life sciences.
The BISI program is an interdepartmental, interdisciplinary training program leading to a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences. BISI currently accepts applications to the Non-Thesis Masters and PhD programs. All BISI students are required to enroll full-time. The program consists of four Areas of Concentration:
- Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics
- Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and Genomics
- Molecular and Cell Biology
- Physiological Systems
Graduate students in BISI are associated with one of these areas, but their interests often span multiple concentrations, which allows the development of innovative research projects across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
