The major goal of this program is to provide a challenging and rewarding academic environment in which students can develop individual research and teaching skills to the fullest.
Training is flexible and focuses on the talents and research interests of each student.
Approximately two-thirds of our past graduates have gone on to postdoctoral positions at major institutions in North America and Europe. Of the remainder, about half have taken teaching positions and half have taken permanent research or administrative positions. The postdoctoral students subsequently obtained positions in teaching and academic or industrial research. How to Apply Applications for admission are accepted throughout the year but most students apply to be admitted in the fall semester. There are three methods to formally apply to the Graduate School.
