For Prospective Graduate Students
Obtaining a graduate degree in biology can open doors to new career opportunities from research to teaching to policy. However, a graduate degree is not merely an extension of a bachelor's degree - it is fundamentally different in its goals. The main goal of the graduate degree is to generate new scientific knowledge. This is awesome and creative, and ultimately yours. Along the way, the graduate student learns to think critically and scientifically, write logically and coherently, orally present and defend ideas, mentor other students, and perform experiments. These skills have broad applicability within and beyond the biological sciences.
If you are interested in my laboratory, consider applying to the PhD program in Biology or the Global Infectious Disease (GID) Program. Links to the Georgetown University Graduate School (which handles all of the applications) as well as the PhD programs are below:
