Curriculum

In traditional graduate programs, students review basic biology in an overview course, take their other required courses, and perform extended laboratory rotations, which delays their entry into their dissertation research laboratory by approximately one year. 

ISB students in our program take courses that teach them how to attack complex problems using integrated, multidisciplinary approaches. Furthermore, the rapid six-week rotations and minimal number of course requirements means that you can graduate in as little as 4 years.

The ISB curriculum is designed so that you can rapidly complete your requirements. It is also flexible, and you can tailor your education needs.
