With over 50 faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, the Department of Biology provides an outstanding opportunity for graduate training. Our students use experimental and theoretical approaches in the laboratory and the field to study a wide range of organisms at all levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems. The Department offers many options for graduate training inEvolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology (EEOB)Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB)Interdisciplinary research |
| Please be aware that MCDB applications are no longer reviewed in Biology. To apply to MCDB and have your application evaluated, you MUST apply via the BBSP program. See “how to apply to MCDB." |
| Applicants to EEOB should apply directly to Biology following the guidelines for Biology’s graduate admissions. |
| Applicants interested in interdisciplinary research should contact relevant faculty to determine whether it is most appropriate to apply via BBSP or directly to Biology via EEOB. |
| If you have any questions about the application process please contact our Admissions Coordinator, Ms. Kenyetta Farrington (kfarrington@bio.unc.edu or (919) 962-3391). |
