We have a flexible curriculum that allows students to select classes to specialize in their area of research. All graduate programs are tailored to meet the goals and expectations of the individual student. The department requires a minimum of core courses, thus allowing flexibility in program design.

Our graduate students receive strong mentorship and guidance throughout their degree program. Students typically earn the Master of Science degree within two (2) to three (3) years or the PhD degree within four (4) to five (5) years after enrolling. Graduates from our program find positions in academia, biotechnology and industry, government, regulatory policy, consulting, and administrative positions.

Our College addresses the challenges facing today's learners by advancing knowledge and impacting policy through research, teaching, and outreach.

We develop the tools, methods, and habits of mind that innovate; contribute to making education equitable and accessible to all learners; and prepare leaders, researchers, and passionate advocates committed to transforming learners of all ages.

We value the diverse perspectives of students, staff, and community friends of all backgrounds who come together in our College to inspire fresh discussions that lead to new avenues of research and exploration for a just future.
