Students who have passed the comprehensive examination in the PhD program and have completed at least 30 credit hours of approved course work for graduate credit, at least two-thirds of which must be at or above the 500-level, may petition the department for award of a master’s degree. The Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology program is offered by the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

The Molecular and Cellular Biology program from The University of Arizona provide students with a broad range of well-funded research opportunities. These combined resources engender a multidisciplinary, interactive approach to research and education. 

The PhD in Integrated Biology is awarded by the Graduate College at The University of Iowa. Instruction is offered through the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The focus of the Structural Biology program from the University at Buffalo, is biological form and function at the level of the three-dimensional atomic architecture of biological macromolecules.

Evolution, ecology and behavior encompass those aspects of the life and environmental sciences that characterize how organisms interact with each other and their environment, and how those interactions change over time. The Evolution, Ecology and Behavior program is offered at University at Buffalo.

Because photosynthetic organisms are the primary producers for natural and agricultural ecosystems, plant biology research provides critical data to solve global problems such as biofuel development, food plant improvement, climate change effects, and biodiversity conservation. We offer a phd degree in Plant Biology at the University of Oklahoma. 

The Integrative Systems Biology (ISB) graduate program at the University of Pittsburgh is designed to train the next generation of biomedical scientists in the use of state-of-the-art quantitative and systems approaches in biomedical research.

The Department of Disability and Human Development at University of Illinois at Chicago offers work leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in Disability Studies. 

The goal of the program in Mathematical, Computational and Systems Biology (MCSB) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is to provide students from a variety of educational backgrounds with Ph.D. training suitable for research careers in the nascent field of Systems Biology. The program emphasizes in-depth classroom study, interdisciplinary research rotations, and individualized advising.

The Department of Toxicology and Cancer Biology at the University of Kentucky is a multidisciplinary unit for research and graduate education in the broad areas of toxicology and cancer biology. 

We offer a phd degree in Immunology and Microbiology at the University of Florida. Join our graduate program. 

We offer our students a phd degree in Microbiology and Molecular Biology at the Brigham Young University. 

Since scientific problems encountered today are multifaceted and require multidisciplinary approaches, students on this Biology program at The University of Alabama at Birmingham are expected to acquire a broad background in the physical and life sciences.
