Biomolecular Sciences Graduate Programs

*Application Deadline Extended to July 6, 2020

Boise State is an emerging leader in biomolecular research and innovation.

Boise State University’s Biomolecular Sciences Graduate Programs offers students the opportunity to earn a M.S. or Ph.D. in Biomolecular Sciences with an average time to degree of 4.75 years +/- 0.57 years for the Ph.D. This interdisciplinary program is the first of its kind in Idaho, and is designed to train scientists to work as part of an interdisciplinary team to address challenges of global importance while preparing graduates for challenging and rewarding careers in today’s biomedical and biotechnology workforce.

This multi-disciplinary program fuses physical sciences and the basic molecular life sciences into a single curriculum, combining studies from traditional areas of science to solve important problems that transcend boundaries between the single disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science. This research intensive programremoves traditional barriers of interdisciplinary thinking, training and research at the interface between the life sciences, chemistry, physics and computational biology.

From conducting basic cancer research to developing new nanotechnologies, therapeutics, and biofuels, the research happening in our faculty labs is making a difference. Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and our research funding and commercialization opportunities have reached new heights.
