The Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Biology, Biomedicine, and Chemistry, PhD brings together students and faculty from multiple disciplines to study a broad variety of interesting biochemical and biological phenomena. The interdisciplinary program requires a minimum of 77-84 s.h., including 11-12 s.h. from the general and molecular/cellular core curricula, at least 48 s.h. from the research core and at least 18 s.h. from a specific concentration. The concentrations are biology, biomedicine, and chemistry. Other appropriate graduate-level courses may be added by agreement of the research advisor, graduate program director, and the doctoral advisory committee.
