Graduate Degrees

Most of our PhD programs are jointly administered by the Division of Life Sciences and the David Geffen School of Medicine, through “Graduate Programs in Bioscience”; our other PhD programs are offered by Life Sciences alone, or affiliated with the Division of Physical Sciences, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the School of Dentistry, and the Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health.
