These programs (with the exception of Anthropology, EPH and History of Medicine) have joined together to form a new consortium called the Combined Progams in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS), which consists of interest-based tracks that serve to organize research and training activities and provide students with flexible opportunities to study with and conduct thesis research with any of the more than 200 biological science faculty involved. Other doctoral programs of interest to students are offered in Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Engineering, Psychology and Sociology. Students normally pursue the Ph.D. in one of the biological science departments, but students interested in taking the joint degree in another department may do so, provided they can work out in advance with the Director an approved program.
