Academic Programs

Master’s and Ph.D. Programs
Graduate study in Biological Sciences at Purdue University is multi-disciplinary, offering a wide variety of choices for a doctorate and master’s degrees. Areas of research include: Biology Education; Cell & Molecular Biology; Ecology & Evolutionary Biology; Microbiology, Immunology, & Infectious Disease; Neuroscience & Physiology; Structural and Computational Biology and Biophysics. A major advisor may be selected in any of these areas. In addition, several interdisciplinary programs also are available in conjunction with other departments and divisions within the University. We, therefore, welcome applicants from different disciplines such as chemistry, physics, and related fields as well as students from traditional biological backgrounds.
