PhD in Biology, General

The Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Science is a research degree run by a department whose faculty investigate biology from molecules to ecosystems. Both basic and applied research are represented, and students conduct fieldwork in Colorado and elsewhere. The department belongs to the natural sciences college and offers its programs on campus only. Alumni hold positions in companies, universities, public agencies and schools. Applicants should review the departmental expectations, speak with a program representative about assistantships and other funding, and begin the online application once they are ready. Detailed coursework and credit rules are kept in the university catalog, so questions about the plan of study are best sent to the department. Financial aid guidance is also available through the central aid office.
