The Department of Biological Sciences offers a Ph.D. program in Applied Biology. The goal of the Applied Biology program is to train outstanding students and enable their contributions to the wide array of life sciences research needs.
The program combines fundamental and rigorous training in the pursuit of new knowledge regarding the mechanisms of biological processes coupled with the skills needed to apply this knowledge in the workforce. In addition to traditional academic careers in research and education at colleges and universities and academic research hospitals and institutes, our graduates are also prepared for non-academic careers.
The program integrates foundational areas of biology (e.g., Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology, Genetics, Developmental Biology, Evolutionary Biology) with focused interdisciplinary biological research and preparation for career advancement.
