The faculty in Biology maintain active research programs that afford many opportunities for students to formulate fulfill their goals in graduate education. We strive to provide a scholarly environment, where faculty and students are stimulated to become productive scientists. To inspire individual thinking and imagination, which are so important in the sciences, we encourage variability among the programs of students. The principal aim of the Department's graduate programs is to train students to achieve the highest level of their scientific potentials. Approximately 50 students are currently enrolled in such programs.
