Integrated Biosciences Graduate Program

Information For Prospective M.S./Ph.D. Students

The primary educational objective for the IBS graduate program is to prepare research scientists, technicians, primary, secondary and post-secondary educators, and future college faculty for careers in the biological sciences.

To succeed in this objective we will train graduate students broadly in this rapidly changing field, yet deeply in a more specialized aspect of the biological sciences. Training received in the Integrated Biosciences graduate program will give students experience with cutting edge technology so that they will be competitive in academic, industrial, and governmental settings.
