PhD Biology

5 Years On Campus Phd Program

New York University

Program Overview

The department accepts a limited number of outstanding students into the Ph.D. program, which is a full-time program. The Ph.D. degree is a research degree. To qualify for the doctorate, a student must satisfactorily complete graduate studies totaling at least 72 points (at least 36 in residence at New York University), pass a qualifying examination, and present an acceptable dissertation. Doctoral students are also offered the opportunity to teach at the college level via teaching adjunct positions within the department. This is a valuable skill and studies have shown that this can also enhance a Ph.D. student's abilities as a scientist.
