Doctor of Philosophy in Biology

The Ph.D. in Biology has as its intellectual focus, an interdisciplinary synthesis of the biological sciences and related biotechnology. The program draws upon the strengths of faculty in multiple departments and is intended to serve students with interests in conducting research in academia, industry and clinical settings. Graduates of the program will be well versed in quantitative approaches to Biology. The interdisciplinary makeup of the program is designed to produce graduates who will be able to integrate the strengths of more than one discipline in solving biological problems.
All students are required to complete a series of core courses related to the interdisciplinary nature of the program (see Degree Requirements). The full interdisciplinary curriculum is tailored to each student with advanced courses in Biological Sciences as well as Bioinformatics and Genomics, Nanoscale Science, Chemistry, Biophysics, Engineering, Geography and Earth Sciences, Kinesiology, Epidemiology, and Health Sciences. The interdisciplinary program allows students to choose a mentor from a large cohort of Professors across departments and Carolinas Medical Centers. Students choose either the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCD) concentration or the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B) concentration.
The cornerstone of the doctoral program is the dissertation research. Each dissertation is expected to be a significant scientific contribution based on independent and original research, resulting in at least two publications in national/international peer-reviewed journals by the time of the dissertation defense
