PHD BIO SCI TR BIOM SCI - Biomedical Sciences: Biomedical Materials Science Track (PhD)

The Doctor of Philosophy in the Biomedical Sciences program is intended to educate and train the next generation of biomedical researchers. The interdisciplinary program will emphasize specific training in one of three tracts: biomedical materials science, biomedical imaging and bioengineering, or pathology. The plan of study begins with core coursework, followed by a combination of elective coursework and laboratory research, and finishes with mentored research on an independent dissertation project in the laboratory of one of the program faculty. Students will be educated through didactic instruction, laboratory practicums, and involvement in active research projects. Successful graduates of the program will be expected to possess the necessary skills for careers in academic teaching and scholarly independent research at universities, junior colleges, or undergraduate institutions, industry or government service.
