PhD in Biology, General

The Ph.D. in Biology at Georgia Tech is a research degree that pushes knowledge forward in several parts of the life sciences. One is ecology, evolution, and behavior. Another is the study of molecules and cells. A third is computational biology paired with bioinformatics. Doctoral students choose a direction within this range and build their work around original investigation. The mix of field-oriented, laboratory-based, and computational topics lets candidates match their training to the kind of biological question that interests them. As a doctoral-level program at Georgia Tech, it is intended for students ready for extended research training. The institute's catalog entry gives the formal requirements, and applicants should read it carefully before applying. Georgia Tech publishes the full course listing in its online catalog, which is the place to confirm admission conditions, timelines, and any later changes to the curriculum.
