The doctoral degree in biology (cell/molecular biology concentration) is awarded to a student who has demonstrated mastery in the field of biology and a distinct and superior ability to make substantial contributions to the field. It is not awarded merely as a result of courses taken, nor for years spent in studying or research. The quality of work and the resourcefulness of the student must be such that the faculty can expect a continuing effort toward the advancement of knowledge and significant achievement in research and related activities.The doctoral degree in biology prepares students to enter research careers in academic and industrial settings, and non-research careers in a variety of areas including public policy, science communication, intellectual property law, and science education.The emphasis is to train scientists who can be principal investigators running their own laboratories in academia or industry. All Ph.D. students receive tuition waivers and a competitive stipend.
