Our program aims to immerse students in endocrinology's interdisciplinary nature through seminars, courses, and faculty research spanning structural, molecular, cellular, organismal, and comparative endocrinology to chemical ecology. Alumni have pursued diverse career paths in education, academic and industrial research, government regulation, and private enterprise.
The Endocrinology Graduate Group faculty, offering MA and Ph.D. degrees, investigate chemical signaling across biological systems through autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and ectohormonal mechanisms. Their research covers hormone-related areas including cancer biology, cellular signaling, pharmaceutical development, membrane studies, virology, metabolic processes, development, toxicology, and genetic regulation. Program graduates have successfully entered professions across education, research (both academic and corporate), regulatory affairs, and business sectors.
The minimum graduate admission requirements are: bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution; satisfactory scholastic average, usually a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale; and enough undergraduate training to do graduate work in your chosen field.
