It's all about Students
What can we say? New ideas and fresh faces are part of what drives science forward. The point of a graduate program is to train students. The program currently accepts a small number of students, perhaps 6, if they are very strong. That number will grow in future years to around 12. The Program in Biophysical Sciences is designed for students with degrees in one of the physical sciences and a strong interest in combining the physical and biological sciences. We will only accept students that we believe can make it through, and once we accept you, we will provide every resource that you need to be a successful interdisciplinary scientist. Our graduate program ends with a Ph.D. in Biophysical Sciences jointly granted by both the Biological and Physical Sciences Divisions of The University of Chicago. It begins with an On-Line Application.
