生物学哲学博士

我们的生物学博士学位课程为学生提供了在学术界，政府和私营部门从事研究型职业的准备，总之，学生必须在第一年通过为期一年的生物学核心课程（B或以上）。核心课程也可以作为资格考试。在第二年年底之前，学生必须通过候选人资格考试，其中包括书面研究计划和口头陈述。要获得博士学位，学位候选人必须基于原始研究项目提交论文。GPC要求在课程和研究方面表现出色，并且每年都会评估所有学生的进步。此外，所有博士候选人都必须在教师的监督下参加至少一学年的教学。因此，如果他/她选择了学术职业，学生将获得教学经验。在更广泛的生物学领域
Our doctoral program in biology prepares students for research-oriented careers in academia, government, and the private sector.In brief, students must pass the year-long Biology Core Course (with a B or better) in the first year. The Core Course also serves as a qualifying exam. By the end of the second year, the student must pass the candidacy exam, which consists of a written research plan and an oral presentation. To graduate with a PhD, the degree candidate must submit a dissertation based on an original research project. The GPC requires a high level of performance in courses and research, and the progress of all students is evaluated yearly. Additionally, all doctoral candidates are required to participate in teaching for at least one academic year under the supervision of a faculty member. The student thus gains experience teaching should he or she select an academic career.Demonstrate basic knowledge in a variety of sub-disciplines within the broader field of biology. Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of a specialized field of biology and be able to address challenging questions in that field. Analyze and interpret the scientific literature and scientific presentations. Demonstrate the ability to plan, execute and interpret experiments, and will use appropriate research techniques. Express their scientific research and findings in a variety of written and oral formats. Demonstrate critical thinking skills. Discuss issues related to scientific ethics and scientific misconduct.
