Welcome to Graduate Studies in CBS!

The College of Biological Science offers masters and doctoral degrees in the departments of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences, Integrative Biology, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. We also offer three interdepartmental programs —Biophysics, Bioinformatics, and Biotechnology— and three collaborative programs —Neuroscience, Toxicology, and One Health. You can follow the links below for more information on each program.

Interdepartmental Programs

Students registered in these interdepartmental programs benefit from faculty expertise spanning multiple disciplines. Students enrolled in thesis-based programs are often co-supervised by faculty from different departments and colleges.

Biophysics (MSc and PhD)	Bioinformatics (MSc, PhD and masters by coursework)	Biotechnology (Masters by coursework)

NOTE: Our course-based masters or course-based MSc require that students complete a research project in addition to their courses.

Collaborative Programs

CBS also participates in three collaborative programs, which are designed to provide a multidisciplinary experience. Students complete the requirements of their home program (e.g., Human Health and Nutritional Science, Integrative Biology, or Molecular and Cellular Biology) as well as additional requirements specific to the collaborative program.

Neuroscience (MSc and PhD)	Toxicology (MSc and PhD)	One Health (MSc and PhD)
