The Federated Department of Biological Sciences upholds principles of equal opportunity and respect for every student, staff member, and faculty, firmly opposing any form of discrimination or harassment. We actively embrace diverse perspectives, recognizing that this is both ethically imperative and scientifically beneficial—diverse experiences and viewpoints spark innovative thinking, leading to stronger scientific outcomes. If you belong to a community that's underrepresented in science, particularly in biology, we strongly urge you to explore pursuing a degree and building a career in this field.
Our Biology Ph.D. Program offers comprehensive training and research opportunities aligned with the wide-ranging expertise of our Graduate Faculty from NJIT and Rutgers-Newark. Participants gain essential knowledge and problem-solving abilities to excel in various biomedical, ecological, and evolutionary science careers. The curriculum cultivates deep comprehension of fundamental and advanced biological concepts while sharpening critical analysis skills for evaluating scientific evidence.
