We offer programs of courses and research leading to the Ph.D from the CUNY Graduate School. This includes PhD Program in Biology (subprograms Cellular; Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior; Neurosciences; and Plant Sciences) the PhD program in Biochemistry, and the PhD program in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Refer to the Bulletin of the Graduate School for application, financial aid, and course information for the Ph.D. program. Opportunities for specialization in applied and basic research are included below in the listing of the supervising faculty.
The department has excellent research facilities, including the Core Facility for Imaging, Cellular and Molecular Biology, well-equipped research laboratories, a greenhouse, animal facilities, cold-room and environmental control units, marine and fresh-water aquaria, scanning and transmission electron microscopes, and computer access. Opportunities are enhanced by affiliation with other city institutions and cooperative efforts with other divisions of the City University and the American Museum of Natural History. Queens College is close to many habitats, including a variety of field and forest types, ponds, streams, and salt marsh, marine and beach habitats.
We anticipate re-structuring of the CUNY doctoral programs in the sciences starting in the 2008/2009 academic year. Under the new proposal, the CUNY graduate center will provide the first year of support for incoming students, after which the mentor and campus become responsible for financial support. Incoming students will be offered guaranteed 5-year financial support packages including $24,000 stipend + tuition paid.
