Students in College of Science graduate programs pursue academics and research in an innovative learning environment where they are encouraged to be creative, independent and collaborative thinkers and doers. Our outstanding M.S. and Ph.D. programs in biology, biochemistry and biophysics, chemistry, microbiology, physics, statistics and mathematics are widely recognized for their acclaimed research faculty, their high-tech science labs, the pursuit of innovative collaboration between disciplines and cutting-edge professional development resources to prepare students for top positions in their fields.

We attract graduate students from all backgrounds and from around the United States and the world. We value cultural, intellectual and geographic diversity and are deeply committed to the values of inclusion, equity and social justice.
