Overview
Key Features
We share a common goal of preparing the next generation of scientific leaders to make significant contributions in our field. We accomplish this by promoting a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, and an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative culture.
The faculty mentors are distributed across 6 colleges and 17 departments at CSU. The Cell and Molecular Biology graduate program from Colorado State University is ideal for those who want to work in the space between traditional fields or explore multiple research areas to find a good fit. We place a strong emphasis on developing quantitative and computational skills.
Students are generally admitted with full support as teaching assistants and participate in laboratory rotations to find an advisor. Domestic students interested in biomedical research are eligible for support through NIH training grants.
