Purpose

The Graduate School Handbook is aimed at providing you with insights into preparing for entry into graduate programs in the Biological Sciences. Although a rigorous undergraduate education in the Biological Sciences is an essential starting point for a career in the life sciences, many of the most challenging and satisfying careers in biology require post-undergraduate training.
