Interdisciplinary Programs
Architecture & Design (MA): The Architecture & Design Program offers New England's first and only public Master of Architecture program that has been fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
Molecular and Cellular Biology (PhD): Provides graduate training in virtually all aspects of biological sciences, with an emphasis in molecular biology of RNA, cell biology, molecular development and cell death.
Neuroscience and Behavior (MS, PhD): Provides graduate training in a wide range of neuroscience-related disciplines, with a particular emphasis on five broad areas: neuroendocrinology (including the Center for Neuroendocrine Studies), molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural and behavioral development, animal behavior and learning, and sensorimotor, cognitive, and computational neuroscience.
Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (MS, PhD): examines biological processes ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level within four broad areas: ecology, evolutionary biology, animal behavior and organismal biology.
Plant Biology (MS, PhD): offers diverse areas of focus in cell biology and physiology, biochemistry and metabolism, genetics and evolution, and environmental, ecological, and integrative biology.
Graduate Training Programs
Chemistry/Biology Interface Training Program (CBI) (NIH): offers graduate-level courses, seminars, discussions and research in this emerging, interdisciplinary field that brings the synthetic, mechanistic and analytical powers of chemistry to bear on new and exciting areas of biology.
Cognitive Science Certificate: Graduate students in the departments of Communication Disorders, Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology have the opportunity to create an interdisciplinary plan of study in the field of cognitive science.
Food Science Public Policy: This two-year Masters program trains for highly skilled scientists for careers in food science policy by providing them a strong foundation in public policy and administration.
IGERT Institute for Cellular Engineering (NSF): exploits the synergistic interface between engineering and the life sciences to enable novel graduate training in areas of cellular form, function, and processing. IGERT Fellows receive a 2-year $30,000 annual stipend and experiential training.
IGERT Program in Nanotechnology Innovation (NSF): combines core disciplinary focus with a multi-disciplinary, two-year team project aimed at product development and commercialization. IGERT Fellows receive a 2-year $30,000 annual stipend and experiential training.
Peace & the Prevention of Violence: The interdisciplinary program trains doctoral students in basic social psychological theory and research regarding group relations and conflict with an emphasis on policy and application.
Psycholinguistics Training Program: The cross-disciplinary program trains graduate students in Linguistics, Psychology, and Communication Disorders to do basic research in language acquisition and language behavior.
