Graduate Training Program

Quantitative Biology graduate training at MSU is centered on two interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs:
- Quantitative Biology (QB)interdisciplinary Ph.D. program
A dual-major Ph.D. program that trains Ph.D. students in the quantitative, computational, and biological aspects of one of four research concentrations: These concentrations appear on the student's transcript. The QB program features an interdisciplinary research project with two faculty mentors, one each from biological and non-biological disciplines, coursework that extends beyond that found in the primary department, and teaching responsibilities and comprehensive exams centered in the primary department. - Additional Interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs (based on the University's dual-major Ph.D. guidelines)
These feature an interdisciplinary research project with faculty mentors in two departments, and include dual-major Ph.D. programs between Biochemistry and Chemistry, Biochemistry and Computer Science, Biochemistry and Physics, Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering, and Biochemistry and Mathematics.
