Facilities including the UWM Field Station, the departmental greenhouse, and the electron microscope laboratory provide opportunities for laboratory and field research.

When applying for admission, applicants should describe as completely as possible their specific research interests within biological sciences. Applicants are strongly encouraged to establish contact, before or during the application process, with Biological Sciences faculty members whose research interests are closest to their own, regarding the likelihood of one serving as the student’s major professor.

To assist the applicant in this process, a Biological Sciences Graduate Program brochure is available, which describes the research activities of the faculty. The brochure can be obtained by contacting the departmental office.
