Graduate Training
Ph.D. Level
 The
Program in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (PBSE): PBSE reflects
the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of biomedical research at UCSC.
This Ph.D. program crosses departmental boundaries and provides students with
diverse research opportunities. PBSE predoctoral fellows have the opportunity
to study biology at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels, and can take
advantage of advanced laboratory facilities, computational tools, and a highly
collaborative research environment. Faculty members from four departments participate
in PBSE. Students apply directly to PBSE and select one of the following training
tracks: 1) Bioinformatics & Computational
Biology, 2) Mechanistic, Structural, and Chemical Biology, or 3) Molecular,
Cell and Developmental Biology. Students are supported by training grants from
the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the California Institute
of Regenerative Medicine. The program is also associated with one of the nation's
most successful NIH Initiatives
for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD). To learn more, click on PBSE

Masters Level
UCSC offers the following additional Masters and Ph.D. degrees
programs in which students can also focus on biomedical topics:
Undergraduate Training Programs
Human
Biology:
The B.S. major in human biology is designed for students interested in careers
in medicine or biomedical research and satisfies the admission requirements
for most U.S. medical schools. It is based on the existing B.S. degree in molecular,
cell, and developmental biology, with similar course requirements in chemistry,
physics, and math. Students are required to take five courses directly relevant
to human health in addition to genetics, biochemistry, and cell biology. Students
in this program must also fulfill Spanish language and health care internship
requirements.
Other Related
Bachelors Degrees: UCSC
offers a number of other undergraduate degree programs in fields related to
biomolecular science and engineering.
