Global Linkages of Biology, Environment, and Society (GLOBES) is a new interdisciplinary Ph.D. program studying the global linkages of biology, environment, and society.  Launched by funding from an IGERT (Integrated Graduate Education, Research and Traineeship) grant from the National Science Foundation, GLOBES seeks to educate future scholars and scientists with the biological, social, economic, legal and ethical training they will need to combat pressing world environmental problems in human and global health. This new graduate training program offers generous fellowships to outstanding students, provides team-based teaching and research experiences, and prepares students for careers as the leaders and problem-solvers of the future. Through GLOBES, teams of student scholars and faculty from across the University’s College of Science, College of Arts and Letters, and Law School work together to seek innovative solutions to interrelated problems of infectious disease, invasive species, and environmental degradation that threaten the well-being of humanity and the planet.

Molecular Biosciences Program
“Current research probing the molecular details of the biological sciences requires simultaneous application of genetic, biochemical, and molecular biological principles and expertise. The Molecular Biosciences Program (MBP) provides training opportunities in this area. Faculty participants of the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry administer the MBP within the College of Science. Students interested in the MBP should apply for admission to the Department of Biological Sciences or Chemistry and Biochemistry depending on their research interests.”

Education, Schooling & Society (Interdisplinary Minor) The Interdisciplinary Minor in Education, Schooling, and Society (ESS) uses the tools and resources of a liberal arts perspective to reflect on, understand, and influence the role of education in society.

The Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) With a membership list of 18 Latino research centers based at major universities across the United States, the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) is the only organization of its kind bringing together scholars from various disciplines to conduct policy-relevant research on Latinos. The program’s consortium structure dates from its founding in 1983. IUPLR also maintains a site office in Washington, DC.
