With Ph.D. classes meeting once a week, our class schedule is designed to support students' home and work commitments. All classes except electives/cognates are held in person at our Newark campus on Tuesdays.
Depending on where students are on their professional and academic journey, we offer two pathways for earning the PhD: post-master’s and post-bachelor’s.

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.
