Graduate Degree Programs in Mathematical Biology
The number of graduate degree programs is growing. This page aims at listing any many as possible, including the new programs that are popping up outside of the spotlight.
In each section, schools are listed in alphabetical order. In the future, we hope to have a graphical representation of their programs' geographic locations. The first sections are limited to North American schools. These are followed by a section of European schools and a sections of schools elsewhere.
As you wait for this list to develop (see below), please visit the Society for Mathematical Biology's web site at www.smb.org for its listing of such programs.
North American Programs
A list of North American graduate programs in mathematical biology, listed by school and degree type.
Masters Programs in Mathematical Biology
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary masters degrees in mathematical biology.
Masters Programs in Computational Biology
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary masters degrees in computational biology.
Other Interdisciplinary Masters Programs
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary masters degrees in a related area.
Doctoral Programs in Mathematical Biology
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary doctoral degrees in mathematical biology.
Doctoral Programs in Computational Biology
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary doctoral degrees in computational biology.
Other Interdisciplinary Doctoral Programs
A list of programs offering interdisciplinary doctoral degrees in a related area.
European programs
A list of European graduate programs in mathematical biology, listed by school and degree type.
Programs in other countries
A list of graduate programs in mathematical biology outside North America and Europe, listed by school and degree type.
Future Plans
The above list of graduate programs is intended to serve undergraduates who are interested in exploring graduate work at the intersection of the life and mathematical sciences. One particular target are those students in NSF UBM programs around the country. Getting information into their hands about the excitement of graduate work is one of the priorities for this project.
For these undergraduates, we will assemble a catalog of information about graduate programs. This information will include the following:
- Institution Name
- Geographic Location
- Department Name
- Degree program type/desriptors (MS, Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D. etc., Biology, Applied Math, etc.)
- Faculty in Mathematical Biology
- Name (optional: contact info, web page)
- Research areas (e.g. max 100 characters)
- Recent students
- Program description and degree requirements. For example, MS in 1 year or 2? Are there qualifying exams? What courses are required (e.g. is graduate algebra required for the mathematical biology students; are graduate biology courses required, etc.) Ph.D. theses are jointly mentored, singly mentored or other? General program description field (limited to 500 characters, e.g.)
- Types of support available
- Website URL for program
The above information will be stamped with a 'last updated' symbol so students can know what information is 'good' information.
Thanks to Peter Thomas of Case Western Reserve University Department of Mathematics for assistance with this project. If you know of other programs that can be added to this list, or if you can suggest other information for the catalog that undergraduates would find useful, please email Jason Miller.
