Graduate Program

Students planning to enter graduate study in integrative biology are expected to have the equivalent of a major in a biological science, although students with other appropriate backgrounds are encouraged to enter the program. The Department of Integrative Biology offers a Ph.D. program. The program for the Ph.D. varies considerably, according to the background and interests of individual students. All candidates for the Ph.D. must pass an oral qualifying examination. The crucial part of the Ph.D. program is the thesis, based upon original research in which the candidate demonstrates the ability to conduct independent study and to incorporate the results in a thesis. One year of experience as a graduate student instructor, an advanced evolution course, and a seminar on teaching pedagogy are required as part of the Ph.D. program in integrative biology.
