In addition to orientation for all graduate students at Rutgers University, our Biomedical and Health Sciences students have the opportunity to attend program-specific orientations. Join us for informative orientation events to learn more about your program details, health insurance options, safety protocols, academic integrity, and more.
The biomedical Ph.D. and M.S. degree programs at the School of Graduate Studies require a laboratory-based research dissertation. Granting of these degrees implies that the recipient has demonstrated a base of knowledge in the field and the ability to independently apply that knowledge to solve a particular problem by forming hypotheses, designing and conducting experiments, interpreting the experimental results, and communicating the results and their interpretation to the scientific community with or without accommodations.
