Get to Know the Integrated Biosicences M.S./Ph.D Program
The IBS Graduate Program is a University-wide, multi-disciplinary program designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in the biological sciences.
Excellent research and classroom opportunities are available on both the Duluth and Twin Cities campuses.
Graduate students are broadly trained in this rapidly changing field, yet deeply in a more specialized aspect, of the biological sciences. Training received gives students experience with cutting edge technology, so that they are competitive in academic, industrial, and governmental settings.
