The education and training of research scientists is central to the doctoral program in the Department of Biology. The program gives graduate students the knowledge and skills they need to conduct state-of-the-art research in their areas of specialty. Graduates have found careers in academia, government, and industry. Members of the Center and faculty in the Department of Biology are deeply involved in developing a core of courses that will prepare students on the most dynamic and active areas in the field. These areas include each faculty's own research interests, thus granting first-hand and up-to-date knowledge and allowing students to be highly prepared and competitive in their scientific careers.
