The Ph.D. in Biological Sciences stresses integrative, collaborative research. Its general sequence lets students tailor an interdisciplinary background and pursue dissertation work in most major sub-disciplines.
Students publish in peer reviewed journals and present at national and international meetings. Narrower doctoral sequences cover behavior, ecology, evolution and systematics, molecular and cellular biology, and neuroscience and physiology, so students can match their dissertation work to a particular interest.
Admission to this graduate offering rests on a completed bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, together with transcripts from every other college attended. The Graduate School at Illinois State oversees applications, and prospective students can arrange a campus visit.
