Students do not have teaching assistant responsibilities, but are strongly encouraged to get involved in research activities from the very start. The stipend will be paid for at least 5 years, provided that the student remains in good academic standing and makes continual progress. At any given time, we have 15-20 graduate students in the program. Approximately half of these are US nationals and half are foreign students. This small program means that the atmosphere is informal and casual.
New students learn from the older students, as well as from formal classes and from faculty.
This is where the individual faculty home pages are, as well. An image of a slide about the Biophysics Graduate Program.
