Student projects are tailored to interest and career objectives. Support: Graduate Students will be supported by a combination of Research and Teaching Assistantships. Tuition remission scholarships are available on a competitive basis. Accepted students can expect support for two years. Teaching assistants in our program typically teach introductory biology or upper division laboratory courses (e.g., cell biology, ecology or entomology).
